Default Clear bra

I am getting my clear bra installed today. The place said they had to order the light kit. So I got it on the usual front half, inside the door ( so if I happen to open my door and tap something the paint won't be damaged) the part on the door frame that is under the kit plate (I'm a girl and wear heels, not good for the paint) and also an the back right under the hatch door, and also around the wheel base.
So how long until I can wax it!!!!! I am ordering my zanio but what should I use until then. Zanio does not rush ship according to their site and Vegas is already hitting high 80's. So I need a quick but good fix so that there is something between her and the elements. (I have to park outside at work).
Also has anyone installed the clear bra light kit themselves?

It is a strange kit. Is this a 3M product? I'd be leary about using other, NON-3M products. I've heard stories about discoloration...

Once the clear bra is installed, you should wait a few days for the bra to 'cure' (installers words) before waxing. Definitely not a DIY job. If you make a mistake and ruin the film, then you just threw away your money. If the installers ruin the film, it's their dime. I had mine done last week at EDL, and the hood piece had several dust spots that were visible. They replaced the whole piece next day without any hassles. It looks great now!

Yes it is the 3m,They gave me like a basic kit, then I added on to areas that I had a lot of knicks and dings on my old car. The strip and the doors are listed on one of the 3m sites. I think they call the door columns. But its all done and looks awesome. With tax it came to 724. Not bad from what others have posted considering all the extra areas I had done.

Still no answer on what wax can I use until my Zanio arrives!!!!.
