Maintenance For Clear Bra

[stl_illini]

I'm the proud new owner of a Silver IS350. Based on what I read here, I opted to get the clear bra put on my car.

I'm wondering what I have to do differentely for it, if anything, when it comes to washing/waxing?

You can wax and clay it, wash it with the same carwash soap you use on the rest of the car. Just be careful not to cake wax under the edges when you do wax.

Can I clay and polish the areas that have a clear bra put on? Thx

I wouldnt use any abrasive polsihes. As for whether or not you can clay:

"I wouldnt use any abrasive...." a mostly forgotten fact; detailer's clay is a mildly abrasive surface preparation, with an average particle size of 1- micron of Kaolin abrasives that polish and exfoliate contaminants by shearing and / or encapsulation

Instead use a plastic cleaner like Plexus

I agree with the usage of Plexus. I just bought Plexus and it is great and does not seem harsh on the surfaces it is used uipon.

My clear bra does not wrap around the edge of the panel. It stops about 1 mm short. Is there a wax that won't leave any residue on the edge of the bra. Maybe something that's not pasty. I have way too much edge to start using Q-tips or blue painter's tape.

You just have to be careful, any wax will build up under that edge.
