I have the Ventureshield 3M clear bra on my car and love it. One of the best investments I made fosure. Guaranteed for life not to yellow or peel. Before I had it installed, my front bumper and hood were beat to hell with rock chips. I had it re-sprayed, waited 30 days and had it professionally installed. It is worth the money since you have Obsidian with plans on lowering your car.

You wax the clear bra like you would the rest of your car. 3M recommends PLEXUS because the bra is porous and PLEXUS is suppose to seal the film keeping out dirt and dust. The main concern is no harsh petroleum products like 409, Simple Green or bug & tar remover on the film because over time it causes it to dull and turn yellow.

I have it and you can only really see it on the mirrors since they're not fully wrapped. I have full hood and full front bumper. The trick is for the installer to cut a slightly bigger piece so that they can wrap the edges making the install invisible. I got 3M venture shield (best) and it rocks, though I still got a paint chip on a pillar... can just never win

I never really gave it thought to install a clear bra on my IS, but now I really wish I did. My front end is chipped up like crazy from all the rocks and debris. It's really noticeable, especially on a red car like mine. So yes, if/when I get my front end repainted, I'd be putting on a clear bra definitely.
