That would be one option at a higher price.

2 Other option I would offer is wash, lightly clay, polish front end before bras instal. After installation rewash, and seal entire vehicle. This would be a lower cost.

Interior and leather conditioning of course would be on both options.

Good luck with it. Don't sell yourself short.

Not bad idea at all...Thanks for that

As far as what needs to be done before the bra install, Its pretty straight foward, if the paint in the area of the bra needs some correction, meaning clay or buffed to remove scratches or fallout then thats what you do, but if its new paint with no problems they will just prepsol (degrease) it and put it on. After that just detail the rest of the car (the bra will need nothing done to it) as you would any other detail job. If the hood/fenders need buffed after the install just mask it off to avoid possible damage to the bra.
Hope this helps,
Steve

I would still just detail the entire car, then simply skip waxing either the whole thing or areas on which the clear bra will go... after that wax everything and you're done.

Saves you from trying to polish around a newly installed clear bra...
