Do you wax over your 3M Clearbra / Clearmask?
Waxing the wife's S60R today and had a thought... I've had a Clearbra on the front of several cars I've owned and I've always waxed over it. Today, feeling lazy, I wondered why I always bothered to wax over it. What says the braintrust??

Wax tends to yellow after a time.
But the slippery effect can only benefit overall .cd and protection. |

This is my first car that I had the entire nose done, so it does save a lot of waxing in the toughest area to detail. Prior cars I just had the headlights/hood edge/mirrors.

When I bought my 993 it had a clear bra already on it. For the last two years I've been using Plexus on it (along with the headlights and taillights) with good results.

Thanks for the advice. I'll get some Plexus, it has good reviews on Amazon for using on Clearbras.

I typically do, it helps restore the sometimes dull finish.
