3m clear bra, wax before application?

i just purchased a 2004 aspine white sti with low miles along with a 3m clear bra for the bumper, hood, mirrors, etc. I have read that some suggest to strip wax off before application and other say to wax. those that have experience with these did you wax before putting it on? i was going to polish, seal and wax the whole car before I put it on. any help is greatly aprreciated, thanks.

 

I have always been under the impression that you want a completely clean surface free of any products or contaminants. Most places I have seen always do an IPA or solvent wipedown to allow the adhesives of the clear bra to adhere as best as possible.

 

DD does clear bras too. aski phil for pricing.

 

i have already bought the film otherwise i would love to have dd do it.

 

wish I polished and filled rock chips before I had it clear bra ed

 

Correct - Pre-installation- a completely clean surface free of any products or contaminants is a requirement. Installer’s will use a chemical paint cleaner to enable the adhesives used to adhere efficiently
