Default Need some advice spray on wax

I have a Star Fire Pearl 350 and just had my clear bra installed today. I asked what wax i can use that is safe with the 3m clear bra to make sure it did not damage it. He said there is a few out there but he said Turtle Wax Ice? I did some research and it is not the greatest as far as lasting. Does anyone know what is safe to use with the bra and that last? Thanks

I have always recommended Zaino. Its easy to put on and take off and it really shines the clear bra. I had a client use it on Ventureshield for 6 years. The car sat in the sun everyday and when she sold it we replaced the hood piece because she had been keyed. Well the film we pulled off looked as good as the day it was installed. So I know it works and will not cause the film to yellow prematurely.

Xpel and Premier Mobile group both make some good products for the clear bra. I would check those out too.

I really love Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax and Griot's Speed Shine.

Just about all waxes are fine on the clear bra as long as they have no polishing abrasives or compounds.

Turtle Wax ICE line is horrible.

Meguiars Quick wax here. I just spray it on each panal after the car is washed and still wet. Definitely gives it a nice shine

You dont want to use anything petroleum based as it will cause the film to yellow.

Thanks guys. I am leaning toward Meguiares because I have used their products before. The NXT spray should be fine correct?
