As all have said... treat as you do your paint. I have had it on multiple vehicles with no yellowing.
Use QD to clean up bugs. I also use Rejex on mine. I have found it makes it easier to remove the bug residue.

My clear bra has been on for 18 months. I waxed it ONCE...big mistake. 
The "haze" was horrible. If you look at all my shots on the beach, not one is from the front, cuz that was the day it did it. 
Now I use Eagle One "Wax as U Dry" and their spray detailer. I now only wax the car (with their nano wax) once a month and use the other two all the other times. NEVER get close to the edge of the clear bra with wax. Nothing worse than white crap showing all over the place.
$0.02.

I heard standard wax will make it yellow over time.

What are costs of the clear bras?
With a black car that will be driven on a 35 mile one way interstate commute fairly often, the clear bra sound like it could be a very good hood nose saver.
Is the overall physical coverage of your car the same as the fabric ones or can you get more of your hood covered with this?
What kind of cost w/ installation?
