Default Preparing for a Clear Bra

So I'm looking to pick up my car on May 26th and hoping to manage an appointment at Aerotect on the 27th. What should I do to my car before taking it in? If it's coming right off the lot and to Aerotect do I need to get it detailed and what not?

thanks

I would think they would want it wax free to better adhere to the paint. I'd just was it, and I'm sure any good shop would clean/prep before installing it.

No detail/wax needed. Just show up with a clean car. Francisco will de-wax parts of ur car needing clear bra for better adhesion. Don't forget to post pics. B4 and after would be nice.

I'll definitely be taking a lot of pics. I'm also planning to get the blue covers for fog lights and red outs for the tails. It should be an expensive trip, but it'll be worth it

No offense to Aerotect, but don't get the red-outs from them.

Unless they came out with new applications that cover the entire tail light surface.

Buy from RVinyl, and get the rest of the overlays from Aerotect.

I bought from aerotect, and it seems fine to me. If anything, it could be a few more cm's bigger.
