op mentioned that he did a wash while the temperature was in the negatives, it'd make sense that he'd need some heat to stretch it out, but i'm no clearbra expert

The best thing to do then would be to use warm to hot water in the slip and alcohol solution heating it up to much can do wierd things to the film, like making it grow. It is certainly much harder to stretch in colder temps than in warmer ones for sure.

Beautiful work, and much better than the $500 I paid a pro to install!

I installed my clear bra myself as well and let me say i can understand why the pro's charge so much for the job. Total time for me and a buddy was like 7 hrs over the course of 3 days but i took my time and got it as close to perfect as i could.

do people actually do that?
cover the whole car in this stuff?
like what would be some pros and cons of doing the WHOLE car not just the front or back?
or is that not even possible?

I have read about guys getting pros to cover the whole car. The cost is the biggest con as it can be over 5000$. I would imagined it would take away something from the shine of the car as well, giving more of an orange peel kind of look.
