What do people think of Clear Bra Paint Protection?

I had the 3M product installed a few weeks ago. Looks great. I don't want the front of this car to look like my 2003 350Z did after 6 years. Wax like normal...I suggest waxing away from the "line" to decrease the amount of build up.

Use a synthetic polish like Zaino to avoid buildup. Buildup is a problem with waxes like carnuba.

I have the 3M film on mine also...just a great idea. Here are some pix.

Well what if you have it detailed by pro's? I assume you would tell them about the clear bra.

They'd see it but you could tell them...my comment about putting the wax on by applying away from the seam was to keep the wax from builing up along the seam and making it easier to get the wax off. My guy told me you could use a pressure washer to wash it (although I don't know why you would!) and if you wanted to use some sort of polishing machine, no problem.

I wouldn't use a pressure washer on anything but cement, or, the out side of my house, if I were getting it re-painted.
