Which do you do first?
I am picking up my new Coupe JCW in a few weeks and I want to get a clear bra.
Should I get the car clayed, sealed, and waxed first or should I have them do the bra first?

Good Q! With my luck if I waited, I would get some huge stone chip before installation! My last car I had them do it right away.

Get the clear bra applied first. They'd have to remove any wax where the bra goes anyway.
You might at least read the owners manual about cleaning and waxing before doing whatever you want.

Wasn't too sure. I wasn't completely sold on if I was going through the dealership for my clear bra or through someone else.
Thanks Jim

Besides removing the wax, make sure they clay the paint to remove the contaminates. IMHO, if this is not a part of their process, I'd do it myself.

Clear Bra first. they're going to strip the car of any hard work you do anyway. have them strip the paint with a solvent or dawn, then clay, then apply the bra. After that you're good to go on the Detailing and Waxing.
Good Luck with the new ride
