Does anyone know if its safe to use sealants (such as DG #601 & #105) over the 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film (ClearBra)?

I know waxes are fine but I'm worried about a sealant damaging or yellowing the film.

Thanks.

Here's a response straight from the source (DuraGloss). I'll probably tape off the film when applying #501 but based on the email from DG, I'll use #601 and #105 on the film.

Here's the email from DG:

Answer:
msquared100,
These products will not harm the 3M Scotchgard.
Thank you for your inquiry and God Bless,
Jerry, Technical Support

Question:
I`ve always used your products and continue to do so. I`m about to detail a car that has the 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection film installed and need confirmation that the 501, 601 and 105 won`t cause any damage or discoloring of the film. Thanks

Not sure what brand of clearbra is on my Rav4 but PB EX-P sealant has been applied a few times with no ill effect on the color of mine. It was a good local installer so I am sure it was a quality bra that was applied. It still looks good after 2 years.

I know many on the corvetteforum use Plexus on their clearbra's.

Plexus is the suggested cleaner/polish for my clear bra, which is manufactured by VentureShield.

I had LaminX on the headlights of my last vehicle. About the same thing as the 3M Clear Bra. Duragloss #601 and #105 worked well on it.

There are several manufacturer's of paint protection film but I personally like 3m Scotchgard. Here's a link to their website where you can find an installer:
