My suggestion is get the whole car opti-coated before any clear bra goes on, and then put clear bra on top of that. Otherwise, your car may look dull under the clear bra in areas you didn't get opti-coat compared to the rest of the car that will look like it's been freshly waxed for a long, long time.
And if you can, try to get Xpel Ultimate put on, instead of a 3M clear bra. Xpel allows UV rays to pass through instead of blocking them, so the paint under the clear bra will fade at the same rate the rest of the paint does, so if you remove your clear bra one day, your paint won't have two different shades. Xpel also has its own clear coat and doesn't change in colour either, it doesn't yellow or fade.
I got opti-guard on my car the day I picked it up, and then got Xpel Ultimate the next day after the opti-guard had cured. I got full front bumper, full hood, full front fenders, full a-pillars, and front of the roof, and of course, side mirrors, and headlights.
Everytime I wash my car, it still looks like I just picked it up a day ago, and it's been waxed and detailed, even though it was just a quick pressure wash. Xpel is so much more invisible compared to 3M, that not a single person in the last 6 months I've had the car has noticed I even have a clear bra, unless I point out exactly where to look.
