I'm picking up my MINI next Wednesday and have an appointment for a clearbra install Friday morning. I plan on using Zaino products for care. The thing I don't get is this... If the paint must be 'untreated' for installation of the clearbra, how will the finish under the bra ever look as shiny as the rest of the car if it wasn't polished before the bra goes on? I understand that you can Zaino right over the clearbra and vinyl stripes, but don't see how the bra'd section will ever look as nice as the rest of the car?

I'm completely new to detailing of this magnitude - never was this particular before - what are your suggestions for doing this right?

 

the car will be very shiny when new even without wax. you want to
remove all wax from the areas you're applying the clearbra for
max adhesion. you can wax over the clearbra as you mentioned and
get a similar level of shine as the rest of the car.
