firt off- how long ago was the paint done?
did the body shop tell you how long to wait to wax?
(new paint has to "gas out" before waxing)

as long as you are calling them, you should ask them how long to wait for the clear bra... imo its the same amount of time as you have to wait to wax.
(clear bras dont let the paint gas out as far as i know)

the body shop is the one who recommended me on who to go to for the clear bra and even set me up with the date and appointment so it could go in.

At first, before it went in, i asked about the clear bra and they said 30 days, but then when i picked it up,....after it was there for 3 weeks(picked it up last week) he said "as far as i am concerned the paint as settled long enough"......so i am not sure exactly how long it has been done for exactly,. .....but for sure at least 10 days

if the car has been baked, you should be able to do it immediately, if not then wait at least 30 days

Every time I've had paint work done on any car, the body shop has told me to wait at least one month to do anything to it regarding wax...I'd assume that a clear bra would need the same.
