What To Get 1st: Clearbra or Detail?
It's almost here! My 2012 X5 50i is arriving at the dealer today (finally). I will be getting it professional detailed including clay bar and sealant, but not for another 3 weeks (he is very popular and totally booked up until then). I am considering getting VentureShield clearbra after hearing the horror stories about paint chipping on the M-sport models. My question is: given the time frame, which service would you recommend that I get first?

prob makes more sense to detail 1st to make everything shine, then cover with film. costs more but worth it.

Yeah you want the paint to be prepped right before Clearbra goes on.

Get the clear bra asap.

Have the clear bra people clean, polish and protect the paint they are covering and use whatever sealant/wax the "professional" will be using.
