I figured this had to be a topic on here somewhere but 15 minutes of searching didn't turn up anything definitive.

I've got a car with a clear bra on the nose and it has lots of little pieces of the film scattered about the wheel wells, door sills, and mirrors. I'm about to coat it. I'm using McKee's coating if you have to know. Do I just run the coating up to the edge of the clear bra part or do I just coat the whole darn car (including the clear bra)?

You guys are always terrific (well, almost always :) )

You can coat the film if you want. The coating goes on clear anyway.
 
Seems like it would be easier to coat everything. Trying to work up to the edges of all those little bits would be a royal pain.

Before applying this Coating, it is crucial
(McKee’s 37 wording, not mine) that painted
surfaces should first be polished with McKee's
37 Coating Prep Polish.

Are you willing to do this “prep-step”
on your brand of Clear Bra/PPF?

$#%^ it Bob!!! Why did you have to go and read the instructions? ;) Nope, I'm not attacking the PPF with that polish. Unless I get better advice between now and Saturday, we're all going to find out how it turns out.

Attack would be a strong word. You could wipe the prep polish on by hand. There are other ways to clean it also.
 
Yes. Just very lightly go over it with polish and any prep-spray as you would the rest of the car. Perfectly fine to coat it. Most quality PPF's have a clear coat layer.
