wax on clear coat film?

I'd ask the installer that did your clear bra. MIne gave me some wax that's applied every few months. Sadly, no name on the bottle.

 

I've been using P21S on my clear bra for years with no color changes. Wash the areas well with mild soap and soft cloths, then I apply a thin layer with my fingers as it allows me to control the wax application more. I usually use painters tape to cover the edges of the clear bra so it does not exceed the edges and then turn white over time.

For me, the wax protects some and makes it easier to remove bugs, and road grime to be removed easier. Works well on my track car to remove rubber markings too.

 

My clear bra installer recommended Plexus plastic cleaner and polish. I've used it for years on my cars and now on the 458. It works very well. No fading and just shine.

 

Wax will yellow the film. Use Plexus or similiar product

 

I use PF1. http://www.premiermobilegroup.com/pf1_products.shtml

 

D, anything to take out scratches in the clear bra?

I have used Meguire's plastic cleaner and polish to take scratches out. Works great.

 

This is corect in my view. Some waxes yellow. I had the 3m film on my Lotus and never did a thing for it.

I was using Turtle Wax Ice because the shop who installed my clear bra used it.
Everything was going great and then Turtle Wax changed the formula. Their new Premium Turtle Wax Ice sucks.

I called my installer and he said he's using Meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax which is what I was using on the rest of my car anyway. He said if you want to test any product... just spray it on a white paper plate and see if it drys clear (some dry yellow, some dry blue).

I'd also heard about Plexus from some of my boating friends (might give it a try next).
Never tried Meguiars Plastic Cleaner (every-time I turn around they have a new sub catagory of products).

 

It's two. But checking at the auto store today they are selling cleaner and polish in one bottle nowadays. I've had the two bottles since the late 1980s. Still works.

 

Some films are self healing if left out in the direct sunlight for a couple of hours. Can also try lightly with a hair dryer. Isopropyl alcohol can help (try small area first). If deep scratches, I've used a polish (not wax) like 3M or P21S in a cool environment. The polish will smooth out the edges of the scratches. Then waxed with P21S wax, as it contains no dyes or perfumes.

I do use Plexus for general maintenance and it works well too.

 

My detailer used the following product on my Spider...

Car Pro Professional Car Coatings

This eliminates the need to wax and gives a fantastic 'wet' showcar look ....

This coating is applied on top of the bra - in my case expel ultimate...

The coating lasts for two years and I think it looks fantastic on my car....
