Default Clear Bra / Wax Issue

I have black Audis with clear bra on the front bumper, hood and front fenders. From time to time it dulls. I have waxed it in the past and due to white chaulky buildup from the wax after drying, I need to use painters tape at the seams of the clear bra to avoid the chaulk line.

I use NOVUS #1 to help protect and keep the clear bra shiny. I have used NOVUS #2, (Fine scratch remover), yet not sure if that is really intended to use as wax.

While at a Harley Dealer I saw a wax, S100 Paste Wax. It says it does not leave a chaulky residue behind.

Here's my question. Has anyone with a black car with clear bra found a wax that you can wax right to the edge of the clear bra and when it dries, it dries clear? Also, has anyone used the S100 Paste Wax?

Thanks, LGO

I noticed when waxing a Clear Bra if you wax away from the seam of bra and apply the wax very thin you will not get wax build up like in the below.

Thanks Wolf...

I called Meguires Wax and discussed it with them. They suggested Meguires Ultimate Liquid Wax, saying that it dries clear, not white.
I used it and found it to not leave the white paste line.
I appreciate your post about waxing in the direction as not to lodge the wax in the seam.
