Do 3M clear bra turns yellow on white car?

Hi,

Does the 3M clear bra turn yellow on white car after a couple of years (on Infiniti or other brand cars)? And do u think it is worth to install it?

Thanks.

DEFINITELY worth the install... I've had clearbra on 2 cars now. My 05 G35 and now the G35. No yellowing. My parents have it on their 07 IP G35 and haven't had any problems.

What is Plexus? Is it a cleaner? Kind of worry it may slowly turn yellowish after 5 yrs or so.

Thanks for the reply.

Plexus is a cleaner for plastics, but also kinda acts as a "conditioner" for the ClearBra. Highly recommended.

had a clearbra on my s2k before my G. It wasnt 3M but it was ventureshield (which I have on my G also). After 4 years there was no sign of yellowing at all, I did use the plexus cleaner too, that really did a nice job.

Haven't found it anywhere local, so I've got some on order. They will just ground ship it.

i don't live in houston but i know walmart and other local car store sell the Meguiar brand plastic cleaner. it's works the same way and could be used on your old car's headlight to make it clear again

it can be ordered from detailed image but with ground shipping...if you do order there, be sure to use the forum discount code 10offG37

do you think the plexus is better than regular polish/wax?
