All surfaces must be cleaned prior to film application. Be sure to use a cleaner that will not leave a residue, such as 3M Adhesive and Wax Remover. On repainted vehicles, paint must be thoroughly dry and completely cured before any attempt to apply film to the vehicle is made, in order to avoid film bubbling due to paint outgassing. Check paint manufacturer's instructions for recommended cure time and method.

The Clear Bra's adhesive film is applied to the side panels of the vehicle to begin the installation. A squeegee is used to smooth out any trapped air and secures the film to the car's surface. Wet application is required for a clear appearance. Please see Step 8 for wet application details.

The film should be applied when air and application surface temperatures are between 55° F - 90° F (13° C - 32° C). Surfaces may be heated in order to raise the surface temperature. This may be done with a portable heater, heat lamps or hot water.

Once the side panels have been completed, the adhesive film is applied to the side mirrors. Wet application is required for a clear appearance. Please see Step 8 for wet application details.

The completed installation of The Clear Bra to the side mirrors. The material is completely invisible to the naked eye.

The largest piece of The Clear Bra's adhesive film is applied to the hood of the vehicle. Using a solution of soap and water, spray the application area on the vehicle, the adhesive side of the film and your fingers. This allows you to move the film into its desired position. Continually re-wet the film, the vehicle and your fingers with the soap and water solution throughout the application process.

The adhesive film is secured in place, using a solution of 25% isopropyl alcohol and 75% water. It's easier to work with half of the film at a time. Get the film into place on the first half and then move on to the other half. Lift the film up to the half-way point, and spray both sides of the film and the vehicle with the alcohol and water solution. Spraying the film with this solution will help wash the soap solution away and will allow the squeegee to slide easily. Keep the adhesive wet during application to facilitate repositioning.

Now secure the film into the desired position. Some stretching may be required. Using the alcohol and water solution and a squeegee at the far end of the application, lock the film into place. Then spray the film again with the alcohol and water solution.

Using the squeegee, work from the inside and slide the squeegee toward the edges of the film. This motion pushes out any remaining soap and water solution as well as any air bubbles that may have formed.

Wipe the film off to get a clear look at your application. There may still be some water pockets or air bubbles remaining. Re-wet the surface and your fingers with the alcohol and water solution, and re-squeegee.

The application of The Clear Bra is complete.

For added protection, a coat of wax is applied to the surface of the bra and buffed to a perfect shine.
