Clear bra question
This is a copy of a post I left in the Common questions forum. Not much activity over there now so I copied it to here. I need to know if I should keep the appointment tomorrow or not.
Thanks for any help.
HELP!!
I'm scheduled to have the XPEL clear bra installed tomorrow. I planned to wash/wax the car tonight before it goes in (at least wax the area to be covered by the bra). Should I hold off until I can use Zaino (I planned to use Meguiar polish that I already have for now, Zaino in the future).
Will there really be a difference if I use Meg's on the nose now and Zaino for the rest later, since the nose will be inaccessible. Or does it not matter since the bra will be there? I've never used Zaino before and all my other cars had the old ugly vinyl bras which were easily removed for polishing.
I'd rather not wait for the bra. The car is a week old today, has 230 miles on it and I noticed a nick in the bumper last night
My wife doesn't understand my desire to keep the car perfect. When I told her I'm spending $500 for the bra she just shook her head. If you saw her old car you'd understand. Unfortunately her old car is now my new car. In a year or two the TL will be mine when she gets another new one so I want to protect my furture ride.
Thanks for any help.

Dont bother waxing your car since it will have to be stripped from the area the clear bra will cover prior to installation for proper adhesion of the film. Afterwards any wax that is safe on your paint will be safe on the films(the film is made from urethane just like your paint!)
