What is your favorite product for over a clear bra?

I have used many such as Plexus which works nice but has no durability. Zaino works nice but like with any product you need to watch the edges. My installer uses Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax or #m liquid wax and said he likes them better since they do not leave a white line on the edge like some of the paste waxes he has tried.

I would love to hear all of your experiences.

 

At ModernImage, we offer a product was developed for clear bras, Adam's Clear Polish & Protection.

Adam's Clear Polish is the first car treatment of it's kind, designed specifically to protect automotive clear bras and clear plastic headlights! Without special care, the 3M clear paint film material (clear bra) yellows and turns cloudy when exposed to the sun's UV rays. Clear plastic headlight lenses (used on all makes and models since 2005) suffer from the same affliction. Slow UV fade damage to these surfaces will cost you hundreds of dollars in replacement costs.

Adam's Clear Polish, when used as suggested, effectively blocks harmful UV rays, doubling the serviceable life of your clear bra and headlight lenses. Use Adam's Clear Polish 3-4 times a years and save hundreds of dollars in replacement costs, guaranteed.

Adam's Clear Polish is easy to use. Simply apply using and an Adam's Microfiber Applicator Pad, allow time to haze, then buff off with an Adam's Super Plush Microfiber Towel.

TIP: Do not use abrasive polishes on your clear bra. Your clear bra is soft and any product except a non-abrasive polish or wax will dull the finish. Once dulled or yellowed, the 3M paint film material cannot be repaired. Adam's Clear Polish contains no harmful abrasives or cleaners and effectively blocks the UV light that causes yellowing.

 

Is the Adams Clear Polish a sealant or carnuaba type product?

What consistency is it? Is it thick like a liquid wax or is it like water?

If it is not used carefully will it collect on the edges?

Why do you recommend it over using a liquid wax or sealant that would be used on paint.




Has anybody used Premier's Crystalline? Thoughts?

 

Seems CG has a Clear Seal Spray for clear bra's also.

 

1. What can be done about wax build up along the seams and how can I avoid it? Are you sure it's wax and not the glue from the Clear Bra? As it gets warm, some of them will shrink a little and leave residue around the edges. Gently remove with an adhesive remover on a micro fibre towel. Be sure to go over any paint that you get the adhesive remover on with a protective wax; put a vinyl protection on any clear bra you get the adhesive remover on.
2. When waxing around a clear bra, mask off the line just a little over the edge with blue painter's tape. Wax will leave a white line on the seam, use painter’s tape to mask the seams before polishing / waxing and wax the film and uncovered portions separately to keep from wax build-up.
3. When you remove the tape just wipe off the wax on the paint. If you accidentally wax over the seam, use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a Q-Tip or a damp micro fibre towel and rub it off.
Maintenance / Care
· Premier Protective Films - PF1 TT is an advanced agent that attacks the marks and transfers at the micro-level to loosen up these particles so that it may be safely wiped off with a clean microfiber towel. Most importantly, it can be utilized on paint protection film with a clear coat safely. Simply clean the area in which it will be applied. Next spray on and in five seconds; begin wiping with a clean micro fibre towel. Repeat these steps as needed.
· Zaino Z-CS Clear Seal or PF1 Crystalline - wipe on, and wipe off (WOWO) walk away, no buffing, just allow to air dry. Use on paint, glass, wheels, plastic, clear bra, or trim for the protection, durability, slickness, and gloss. All surfaces are protected against potentially damaging exposure to sun or ultra-violet light with UV inhibitors.

 

Actually after looking at it closer it is not wax which makes sense because I am very careful when I wax my vehicles around the CB edges. It appears to be dirt. It is only on my 2 daily drives that go through he!! and back and sit out 24/7. They also get very dirty and I guess the dirt collects along these edges.

I tried a few things, first I used alcohol and some detailing Q tips and it seemed to help out a little but not as much as I liked. Somebody told me to try some Zaino CS on the Q Tips and to my amazement the CS/Q Tip combo worked great. I could not believe how much more dirt I was seeing on my Q Tips compared to when I used the alcohol. I managed to get the edges looking like 99% as good as the day the bra was installed. Just when you think you know everything you find something new that works great. I highly recommend this method of cleaning the edges. Lightly dampen a Q-Tip with CS and lightly run it along the edges and you will see all the dirt coming off. I am guessing the solvent in the CS works as a cleaner. Give it a try, I think you will be amazed how well it works.

 

I've been a long time user of Zaino products but before I tried the Zaino on the clear bra I emailed Sal (the owner) just to be sure about using any of the Zaino products. He wrote back and ensured me that the clear coat polish would be just fine, so that's what I use. I am always careful around the edges of the clear bra (no machne buffing - hand application/removal only with microfiber cloth) and use only a minimum amount to avoid any problems with removal. I makle sure I wipe the edge of the clear bra with a microfiber cloth after the surface areas are done to avoid any buildup.

 

GREAT information! I was just about to post a thread of this nature. Our Mini has some clear film and I want to be sure to treat it right.

There are a few different things that we use to protect clear bras.

As an extremely common treatment that can be done with after every wash, I recommend the Einszett Spray Wax. It won't yellow the surface and you don't have to worry about it leaving any type of "crust" or film at the edges of the clearbra.

For a more lasting protection, we also use the Einszett Glanz Wax. It also won't discolor the surface and will provide a good amount of gloss and protection. This one could potentially leave residue along the edges of the clearbra, so you want to be careful when you apply it so you don't cake it up along the edges. If you do get some on the edges, simply wipe it down with a MF towel and it should remove easily as long as it isn't left for an extremely extended period of time to cure and harden.

What a coincidence

 

If you want temporary protection for a trip, track day or a drive to the next Cars and Coffee, this stuff works.

Nanoskin Hydrophobic topped with Nanoskin SHIELD is unbeatable. Really does a great job protecting from bug etchings, and beads water like crazy.
