I've been trying to find a good answer to this question. Not trying to get wax out of the seam at the edge of the bra, but off the bra itself. Plexus it is said causes yellowing so I'm ruling that out. IPA? Other product?

Also, is it OK to use a "cleaning wax" on a clear bra?

Thanks.

How old is the film? I don't really think it's old wax, I think the film is starting to yellow

The film isn't old (1.5 years) and it's not yellowing. I'm just asking how to get a "fresh start" on the clear bra by removing old wax.

I have a 3M clear bra and yes, you can use a cleaner/wax if you want. To remove the wax from the bra, I use IPA. You can also use an Eraser type product, too. Just don't use GTechniq Panel Wipe, because it will ruin your clear bra (I found out the hard way. Now they have a disclaimer in their directions, thanks to me, lol). When I used IPA, I think it was a 15% solution, but I have used full strength without any negative effects. Hope this helps. Happy detailing!
