I have clear bra installed on my IP G and i heard from someone that i should be waxing it with a white-based wax to keep it from turning yellow. Can anyone confirm this and also recommend a good wax to use?

 

Just wax it with the wax or sealant that you use for the rest of the car. Whoever told you to use a white based wax is... hm... well... full of it. Wax is clear. Especially since there is such a microscopic layer left on your car. If it was colored in any way, it would affect the clarity of the paint. Even those gimmick waxes with pigment in them end up being clear on paint when buffed out.

 

If you can find a polymer or sealant that blocks UV, it can help to make the clearbra last longer and won't yellow as much.

 

wax the clearbra as you wax the rest of your car.

To remove minor scratches in the film (tape the edges of the auto mask when polishing the vehicles paint, use a high speed buffer (white foam pad only) and lightly glaze over the material. It is important not to apply a lot of pressure to the film as this may lead to burning of the surface. Use a Q-tip and some isopropyl alcohol to clean out the edge (See also 3M website- http://www.mmm.com)

Maintenance and Care-
1. To clean stains - use a d-limonene-based (citrus) cleaner (P12S Total Auto Wash) polish the paint and the clear plastics separately, tape the edges with masking tape. It has a clear coat so it can be cared for like a clear coated paint; use Zaino or Klasse as they will dry ‘clear’. Use Z-14 Plastic Magic Cleaner & Polish™ or Plexus® Plastic Cleaner, Protectant and Polish for maintenance and to remove any finger marks / smudges (avoid the use of abrasives)

2. What can be done about wax build up along the seams and how can I avoid it?
Wax will leave a white line on the seam, it is recommended not to wax over the seams and wax the film and uncovered portions separately to keep from wax build-up. If you accidentally wax over the seam, just use a wet towel and rub it off. Another caution is to avoid buffing over the seams, which creates a noticeable wax line as well.

 

good info man

tip: if you do end up getting wax build up at the edge of the clear bra where it meets the paint, go to auto zone and get the black magic detailing brush pack

so great brushes for all your needs and they do wonders and 1 is very soft so doesn't scratch your clear coat

 

Wow, thanks for all the info guys! Once again it amazes me how much help is available in this community!

 

I also use the same wax on my 3M as the rest of the car.
Either carnauba wax or the quick detailer.
No problems after 18 months.
