Wax and Clear bra
#1

I have the XPEL clear bra on my car, and I wanted to wax the car, but I know you are not supposed to use any abrasive cleaners on the film. I have Mother's carnuba wax with cleaner. It says it's safe for clear coats and has "mild" cleaners in the wax. Can I use this without damaging the film? Any other suggestions? XPEL's website doesn't have anything on it about the care of their product.

I tried to check your Zip Code to pass local dealer info to you but you didn't list your city. Goto www.XPEL.com and you can find local dealer and get the specific maintenance instructions and care products for the XPEL film.

In general, it's fine to wax over clear bras, but I don't know the answer to the question of the wax with cleaners. I'm guessing it's OK, but I agree with the poster above, I'd check with the specific recommendations.
If you haven't waxed a car with clear film before, just be sure to not wipe wax towards the seam; getting wax under the edge can make the edge more visible. We haven't done a clear bra yet on our relatively new A5, but I've had it on my P-car since new. I wax the clear bra lightly from front to back over the seam. Haven't had any problems that way.
Good luck.
