Wax over clear bra?
 
I have a Whiteout FR-S with factory clear bra on the mirrors, front bumper, front of hood, etc. I have the Turtle Wax ICE liquid wax which i have had good results with should i was over the clear bra or try to avoid it with the wax?

i have a clear bra for my car and was told to use liquid wax on it to keep it clean

It's fine as long as you stay away from any wax with petroleum based solvents in it. You should consider using a good synthetic sealant on the clear bra, and then topping it with a good carnauba wax.

Have a look here. These guys are THE place to get clear film installed and they have a line of maintenance products.

Do you have any examples of said sealant? Thanks!

You want to stick with colorless synthetic waxes/sealants. I've read many contradictions in petroleum distillates, but I hear products containing it can prematurely yellow clear bras. I have been using Klasse High Gloss Sealant (100% Acrylic) on my clear bra, so far so good.

You can also use Opticoat if you want.

I did not buy their brand of sealant. I searched several detailer forums for reviews and recommendations of their product and didnt see many. Instead, I bought Black Fire Wet Diamond. I wanted to get Wolfgang, also.

After rereading posts above me, the colorless sealant seems like a good idea. Premier did not offer lifetime warranty for yellowing on white cars.

That's one of the worst things for 3m/xpel.

Not according to this. http://www.xpel.com/products/xpel-ul...-questions.asp

"Can I wax the film when I wax the rest of the car?"

Unlike most paint protection films on the market, XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection film can be waxed and sealed just like your paint. Though XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant is still the preferred product, Any automotive wax or sealant may be used.

Hrm good to know (I now have xpel) - but was told not to use yellow dyed wax with my previous 3M stuff:
