Just a regular guy
I had a very well known clear bra guy in south Florida tell me he waxes before putting the clear bra down to keep it from sticking and pulling off paint when they remove it.
the opportunity of my life-help please....

That's a new one on me Todd. When I did that Challenge Stradale, they removed wax with Prep-Sol before applying the material. Could be the type of bra material that determines what the installation procedure will be.
Hey: I sent you a PM....when you get a second, please respond.

As far as the process goes, if it were me I would offer two different packages:
1 I would wash, lightly clay, and only polish the front end and areas being clear bra'd.
After bras installation, I would go back and rewash and polish the entire vehicle and seal.
That would be one option at a higher price.
2 Other option I would offer is wash, lightly clay, polish front end before bras instal. After installation rewash, and seal entire vehicle. This would be a lower cost.
Interior and leather conditioning of course would be on both options.
Good luck with it. Don't sell yourself short.:xyxthumbs

I am a 20 year detailer and a clear bra installer and I would not recommend waxing before a clear bra installation, factory paint will not pull off if the bra needs to be removed.
As far as what needs to be done before the bra install, Its pretty straight foward, if the paint in the area of the bra needs some correction, meaning clay or buffed to remove scratches or fallout then thats what you do, but if its new paint with no problems they will just prepsol (degrease) it and put it on. After that just detail the rest of the car (the bra will need nothing done to it) as you would any other detail job. If the hood/fenders need buffed after the install just mask it off to avoid possible damage to the bra.
Hope this helps,

I would still just detail the entire car, then simply skip waxing either the whole thing or areas on which the clear bra will go... after that wax everything and you're done.
Saves you from trying to polish around a newly installed clear bra...
