I ordered Plastic X 2.0. I will have it tomorrow. How do you recommend applying it? Amazon had a review suggesting balling up the corner of a microfiber cloth and hand rubbing it. I do have a Porter Cable polisher with a bunch of foam heads.

How do you remove those nasty clear bra scuffs?

Once I get them out, I will seal the clear bra too. I did the car but didn't do the bra figuring the seal wouldn't stick.

since you have a PC i'd use a soft polishing foam pad (not cotton not MF).

MF and cotton towels absorb the polish too much. you already know this, but you want the polish to be at the surface working against your finish to get the abrasives to diminish. which means foam will work best as it keeps product at the surface.

it will take many applications before you can get the results you want. want to watch out for heat. so not too much pressure.

sealants and waxes will stick to clearbra and should be taken care like the rest of your paint.


for my minor scuffs i had on clearbra i used glaze and sealed it afterwards. when it was getting obviously cloudy i just removed the clearbra and reapplied.

Default Solution to scuff marks

I have the Ultra VentureShield and had the same scuffing when cleaning something off it. I simply use Megquires cleaner /wax, the 2 in one stuff. It will not scuff the clear bra as an abrasive would. Then I use Meguires Ultra detailer spray to even out the wax effect for a small area. Trust me, this works for even what seems like tiny nicks on the other sections of the car
