Got the Ventureshield installed yesterday, looks good so far just need to give it a few days for any bubbles to go away.

I asked the installer how long before I can polish/wax and they said to wait at least a week. But I totally forgot to ask how long until I can wash the car and now they are closed for the weekend.

Anyone know when it's OK to wash the car?

Thanks

Bubbles? I never had any bubbles. The installer squeegeed them all out before he called the job done..

Why would the bubbles go away? The material is impervious. Where would they go?

i usually give it a week before i apply any wax including wax in quick detailer sprays.

minor solution bubbles left in the clearbra is fairly common. they will eventually evaporate through the material. even if they are close to the edges, DONT try to force them out. that will permanently wrinkle the bra. just keep the car out in the sun and just let patience do the work. It could take up to 2-3wks for bad bubbles.

i install clearbras on my cars and it's just the way it is. dont force anything.

I was told not to wash the car for a week and to leave it in the sun. I don't remember seeing it have any bubbles. I would not wash it if you still see bubbles just not to add any moisture

I don't know, they said it was like window tint where sometimes there are bubbles that go away... They told me I can bring it back in a few days if there are still any issues...

There were no bubbles on mine.

Do not wash for a week.

Default Bubbles

I had a few bubbles, they all went away after awhile. I was told it was normal. Leave it out in the sun and don't wash it for a week or so.
I recall I waited a month before I washed mine.....and I don't know about waxing it ever. I know nothing about this Ventureshield though.
You don't wax Xpel. All I put on it on ocassion is 'Reload' that was developed to put on top of the C-Quartz Finest I have on all the paint not filmed with the Xpel. I Reload the whole car.

Hi all, new member here. We just bought a new '15 white roadster T/S for the wife and are going to have the clear bra material put on the hood, bumper and fenders. The installer is two hours away and there is a prediction of rain on the day of the installation. Can we drive it home in the rain or should we change days when better weather is predicted? Thanks in advance.

We got the clear bra installed on the bumper, full front fenders, mirrors, rockers and full hood. They did an excellent job using the Xpel material and my wife is very satisfied with the job. We were told to keep the car dry for 72 hours and then we should be good to go.

In retrospect I wish I would have done the same to my other car, it seems to be a chip magnet.

Yup....I was told 24 hours before getting it wet. Wet meaning water only, washing it was a week minimum.
