Stupid question about clear bras
Do you guys bother waxing over the clear bra? Also, did you wax the parts of the car that had the clear bra applied before it was put on there? Thanks.

No don't wax it before applying the film as they will prep the car and remove any wax it has so that the film will stick |

it's not a bad idea to protect your clear film with a good sealant.
we have been using Sonax Brilliant Shine Sonax Polymer Net Shield Menzerna Power Lock All the above work great. |

Here's what Xpel says. Of course it's not shocking that they are promoting their own product:
Contamination from road oils, diesel smoke, pollen, and pollution can cause discoloration and deglossing of the film. While traditional automotive waxes can provide a small level of protection against contamination, XPEL Flawless Finish Film Sealant is designed specifically to provide the strongest possible barrier against these and other contaminants. Moreover, waxes that contain dyes and other chemicals such as naptha or kerosene may discolor or degloss the film over time and should be avoided. |

The wax with the film is not much for protection but for better shine |

These are the products i plan on using. The kit comes with a glaze, wax and sealant. I guess I need to look into the glaze and wax. I'm assuming that the sealant will be good though. The car is mineral white.
