Quick question! Is it OK to wax Cleartastic with paste wax of Turtle Wax Ice?

Cleartastic (non adhesive) or Cleartastic Plus (mild adhesive)?

If you don't no, tell me the kit and I'll tell you the film (and the answer).

I’m not sure which one it is, but my guess is that it is the plus. It is on there pretty good, and I doubt it will come off very easily.

I apologize if I'm thinking of someone else, but i thought i read you purchased the car with the film on it.
Im bringing it up because some films you can wax over others you can't. You might want to find out what was installed otherwise your rolling the dice.

If for sure its Cleartastic plus, then yes you can wax it.
Treat it like your paint and wax over it. In fact its encouraged. Try and stay away from the edges. Llike any film, the white residue can build up and create a line. You can always take a Q tip with alcohol and simply clean the edge. Even though Cleartastic Plus has "healing" characteristics, and slight swirls and marks will erase over time, don't use any abrasive wax or polish.

Now if its another film, be careful because you can ruin the finish. Some films have issues with wax's that have petroleum distillates in it.

Good luck
