ClearMask Paint Protection (Clear Bra) Installation

Big J

So would you claybar then wax the car before putting this film on? Is there any special way to clean the car once is intsalled?

Yes, you definitely clay bar before installation; even polish out the vehicle, but no wax. I use Plexus on the clear bra portions and normal wax on the rest of the car.

I also use plexus on the bra but I also put wax on it like the rest of the car. my car was brand new when I did it. It had around 10 miles I think? I did not clay the car myself, but if you want that added security go for it. Most installers I researched never clayed the car.

As for cleaning, when I wash the car I do it all by hand. I am also careful with the seams of the bra. I have not had to use a toothbrush to clean the seam with yet. I sealed the fim pretty good I must say.

I installed it in my garage and I would bring it out to bake in the sun and then take it back in the garge later in the day. I would go back over the edges to seal them when the car was warm. I did this for a couple of days. I did not even drive the car for a week. I had my windows tinted the same time so It all cured together

oh yea, and I did all this myself. I thought I would need a helper, but the soap solution was all I needed to hold one end. The clear bra is really forgiving.
