Default Detailing the 3M Bra?

I have a 3M bra on my car.

I was told that I could wax over it no problem, but what about the swirl removal and polishing steps.

My Bra has light swirl marks , as well as a few scuffs where rocks have hit it.

Can I use the same process with the PC as I would be using on the rest of my car or are there any precautions I should take with the Bra?

Thanks

I believe 3M has a product that you can buy to clean/polish the bra. I've used this product (in the attachment) on my whole car and on the 3M film and it did an outstanding job.

I wish I would have gotten a 3M bra 10,000 miles ago for my 07.

Now there is no point to get it, my front end is completely destroyed by rock chips and a few bug marks that will not wash off.

Daily driving 100 miles FTL.

But would Aerospace 303 be better since it has great UV protection? Everyone is saying that is the **** when it comes to protection.

Plexus was recommended by my installer. Makes it nice and slick. He also said any liquid wax would work since it has a clear coat. Most of your quick detailers will work OK too.

I ended up just putting on the Meneza FMJ sealant, and then waxing it with poor boys blue paste, and it came out well
