You can apply painter's masking tape about 1/16" over the edge before waxing to prevent it from caking on the edge.


If you get any wax on any unpainted black plastic trim, a regular eraser can removes it quite well. Good thing the fit doesn't have very much black plastic.



A bit OT but I tried Meguiar's NXT 2.0 polymer wax recently and was quite impressed. Easy to apply and really easy to buff off. Very little dust and doesn't accumulate on your towel like normal waxes.

 

I debated on getting the clear bra, but then someone told me that the color of the paint will fade differently under the bra versus the exposed paint and I'll end up with a hideous "two toned" vehicle.... Has anyone had this experience, or has it not been around long enough. It made sense to me that the plastic coating would block some of the UV rays and fade less than the non-coated paint. And since I want to keep the car for 5 - 10 years, it might look bad if half the paint is more faded than the covered parts.
