Default Yellow-ing clear bra

My dealer-installed clearbra seems to be yellowing after only one year. I've been using Zaino and Plexus since the beginning, so I'm a bit annoyed. The clear bra is much more noticeable now than when new.

I'll snap a picture when the sun comes out.

Any suggestions or fixes? More Zaino?

Thanks!

I don't think Zaino is going to be the answer. What brand of clear bra is it?

First I would try to see if the warranty will cover fixing or replacing it. If it doesn't I would try some plastic polish like Meguiar's Plast-X.

I'll try to track down the clear bra brand tomorrow morning. I don't know what the dealer used.

If that's a no-go, is Meguiar's Plast-X much different than Plexus?

Yes, they are two totally different products. Plexus is a plastic cleaner/protectant for clear plastics. Plast-X is a clear plastic polish with mild abrasives which also leaves behind protection.

The dealer has to replace it, there has to be a warranty.

My latest problem - the clear bra wasn't on my car's invoice so I have no way of proving that it was installed at the dealer.

I think my dealer used:
autobahnd international

Update. Autobahnd is offering to replace my bra for free. Only hiccup is that they don't have many west coast shops (based in Boston). I need to drive from LA to San Diego to have it redone at an agent's shop.

I'll probably get it done in a month. Hope it works out.

I think it's funny - everyone seems to think that Zaino is the cure for everything (Nothing wrong with that - it's a good product). I ask anyone any question about car detailing and a lot of the time Zaino is mentioned. It's like someone will have a huge obscenity keyed into their hood and someone will recommend Zaino (OK, I'm exaggerating a bit )

Zaino is a synthetic sealant/wax, and nothing else

I think it's time to get it replaced
