Default Polishing & clear bras

Wondering about polishing with an orbital and what you do when you get to the clear bra. I'm assuming hitting the bra will mess it up but if you stay away from it then you would have an unpolished area between the bra and where you stopped with the orbital. What to do?
While we're at it, what if anything would you use on the bra to keep it clean, shiny and supple?

I'm interested in an answer as well since I'll be getting a quote for a clear bra this week.

When you're using your orbital around the clear protection or vinyl decals or stripes, tape the edges off with blue painters tape as close as you can get to the edges to protect them. When you're done with the polisher, use a coat of this...
Adam's Clear Polish
It will clean and protect your clear bra from UV rays and keep it from yellowing.

If you're interested (and I'm allowed to post it here) there is a forum for Adam's products and there are lots of good people with a ton of knowledge over there for detailing.
