cleaning/detailing of XPel plastic clear bra?

I have the entire front end of my M3 covered in Xpel clear bra. Full hood, full C/F roof, full R/L fenders, Full doors & Full front bumper area. The XPel clear bra is excellent, clear and no yellowing. Paint is chip free and swirl free. I'm planning on getting the Right/Left quarter panels and trunk lid next. Cleaning is a breeze but I'm using only RainX quick detailer or other good quality quick detailers after washing. Is there a spray made specificaly to keep clear bra's clean and shiny??

CG makes a product specific for clear bras. However i would feel safe applying any type of sealant or high-quality wax. i have applied Swissvax Mystery to bras and had no problems.

I've seen 599's, 430's completely covered, not silly if you are going to keep it for many years. If it's gonna be turned around in 3 years then yes, it would be a waste of $$.
