Paid $515 for a clear bra ... and tested it through 340 miles of driving
After putting the clear bra (2 hours installation by a certified 3M installer), I drove 340 miles with my A6 Avant and really punch on the accelerator 85 - 105 MPH. After I got home, I gathered many bugs stuck on the clear bra and grill. I got a paper towel, soak it in water, and wiped the bugs clean. Can't believe how easy it was to wipe it all out.
This was also the first time I drove the Avant purely on the highway and country backroads. With 342 miles registering on my trip meter after resetting it with a full tank gas, I still have 185 miles remaining. I still don't know if I can do 500 miles before refueling, but I may reach it.

I added the Clear Bra as well...great product
After looking at the pitted mess on the front of my 99.5 A4 (Santorin Blue), I knew I needed to protect the A6. You really cannot even notice it and a simple drive thru the touchless car wash is enough to get the bugs off. I hope it holds up with the winter sand/salt mixtures as well.

7,500 miles on mine
Just returned from a 7,500 cross country from Seattle to Boston and back. Cleaned the windshield every day (only 1 fill-up needed daily) and used the scrubber to clean the bra and headlight lenses too. Was able to wash some of what remained when I got home, but took some time with a toothbrush and soap to get them all. The bra is my second and I feel worth every penny of the 600 I spent. Mine also protects the fronts of the rearview mirrors which got buggy as well.
On days when we drove all interstates I got at least 500 miles from a tankful and one day in Kansas got 585, but I think I had a tailwind.

Re: 7,500 miles on mine
Wow 585 miles huh? that's great.
Yeah, they also put it on both side mirrors where bugs stick.
I bet you enjoyed driving those 7,500 miles.
Yep, the bra is worth it. When I had my allroad, I didn't place a bra ... and it was so difficult to remove those buggy spats.
