    Just discovered the ultimate wax for your clear bra-Plexus

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My clearbra installer sold me a bottle of Plexus, plastic cleaner Protectant & polish. After googling this "plexus clear bra", its been around for quite some time, but i just tried it on my clear bra and its super silky smooth now. I even applied it to my laptop monitor, camera LCD, cell phone lcd and it works great! Ok i'm getting carried away with this stuff.

    Plexus has been around for a long time. If this is the first time you're guy heard about it then i wouldn't consider him a credible source.

    I started using it when I had a Boxster with the plastic rear window. Found it worked great for headlight and tail light covers and some interior parts like instrument covers.

    Some bicycle mechanics I know use it on carbon fiber frames (which usually have a plastic coating).

    Good stuff, and I never had any problems with how it interacted with any of the plastics I've tried it on.

    It does if you drive a Lexus! ZING!

    Back to topic. I'll have to check that out. Next month I'm doing a massive detail on my car once the pollen slows to the point where I can wash the car and not have it coated again in an hour....really tough to wax when it's that bad.

    My installer has also moved away from Plexus, but I know many who have used it for a long time. Don't know any other details, however, sorry.

    I don't think it will. I think it prevents the yellowing before it happens. I "heard" the bra can be buffed lightly to remove the yellowing. You might want to search the detailing forums before listening to me though.

    The chemicals within plastic cleaners can actually be harmful to the film if left on for an extended period of time. Certain propellants within aerosol canisters are responsible for excessively drying out the pores of the clear bra, which then leaves them open to the elements and yellowing.

    Plexus tends to yellow just take a look at the white nozzle after some time; it actually turns yellow. It also contains butane, which dries out the micro-pores of the urethane film

    Maintenance / Care

    • Premier Protective Films - PF1 TT is an advanced agent that attacks the marks and transfers at the micro-level to loosen up these particles so that it may be safely wiped off with a clean micro fibre towel. Most importantly, it can be utilized on paint protection film with a clear coat safely. Simply clean the area in which it will be applied. Next spray on and in five seconds; begin wiping with a clean micro fibre towel. Repeat these steps as needed.

    • Zaino Z-CS Clear Seal or PF1 Crystalline - wipe on, and wipe off (WOWO) walk away, no buffing, just allow to air dry. Use on paint, glass, wheels, plastic, clear bra, or trim for the protection, durability, slickness, and gloss. All surfaces are protected against potentially damaging exposure to sun or ultra-violet light with UV inhibitors.

    And heres the link to the MSDS sheet, http://www.plexusplasticcleaner.com/safety.html

    Propane, butane, and petroleum distillates work great on plastics... Just look at the tip!
