Wax over clear bra

///MLourenco · 05-21-2018, 11:12 PM

So I purchased a pre-owned F82 and noticed the other day the car has a clear bra. The bumper, hood and front fenders are all wraped. I wanted to get the car detailed however my question is do you still wax over the clear bra? I'm guessing no but wanted to get other opinions. Maybe I can get a discount for detailing only half the car?

Yes you can wax over the clear bra.

It'll be fine.

Definitely use whatever sealant you are using for the rest of the car on the paint protection film.

Yes you can wax it or use a special sealant for it like the one Xpel sells.

You can wax it, but the wax cannot have naptha in it (Spelling?)

Be sure to check on that. That is at least from Xpel, so I assume others are the same.

I would actually bump to some form of sealant.
