subject: 5 How To Maintenance Tips For Your 3m Clear Bra Paint Protection Film [print this page] 1.Clearbra should not be waxed1.Clearbra should not be waxed. Waxes and other substances may bond to the clear bra. This can lead to yellowing and haziness. We suggest using Plexus or Original Bike Spirits, after washing the car, to lubricate and reduce friction. (Venture Shield clear bra should be waxed!)
2.If your clearbra has minor scratches or scuffs pour rubbing alcohol on the 3M clear bra and let stand for 1 minute. Some scratches will disappear.
3.When pressure washing your vehicle, make sure to keep the end of the pressure washer more than 3 ft away from the clear bra. Pressure washers and touch-less car washes can easily damage freshly applied 3M clearbra.
4.If you see bubbles or peeling edges, DO NOT TOUCH THEM! Bring the vehicle back to the shop after curing. This is usually about 30 days. It is common for the edges to curl, peel, or bubble about a 1/8 away from the edge, where the clear bra ends. If the clear bra was brought all the way to the edge of the hood or fenders, this is acceptable, because the peeling edges can be trimmed and still provide good coverage. Ask your installer if he can wrap the edges of the 3M clearbra for the best coverage. Pre-cut kits and poor cut jobs that do not go to the edge will leave a lot of paint exposed. If you notice 1/8 or less peeling bring the vehicle back to the shop and have the edges trimmed. If its more than that, the shop should replace the piece of clear bra.
5.Clear bra is usually covered by automobile insurance. If you are in an accident, the clear bra should also be replaced as part of your insurance claim.
