I have done a lot of reading on this product. It contains some of the chemicals that can hurt the clear bra in the long run. Having said that there is lots of people using it. I will pass for now. I will keep looking for a product that is specifically for clear bras.

use a clear sealant for your PPF I like Opti SEAL or Opti Coat. Some "waxes" cloud the PPF.

Cheers,

303 Aerospace has no petroleum distillates, safe on plastics, rubber, vinyl etc. been using it on gauge clusters since 2004. However plexus is easier on clear plastic to get looking good. Used it on 3M clear bra as well. Just makes it slick for the most part.

Best interior dressing bar none.

YMMV, but 303 overspray definitely messed mine up.

it depends how you apply it. You always spray on microfiber applicator sponge never spray on the dash or directly on or its messy.

Never heard Plexus 'messes up', but it is made for plastics. I've been using it on my Ferrari clear-bra for 3 years with no ill effects and others in my car club have been using it longer. In the end... use what you are most comfortable with.
