Clear Bras?

I'm a daily driver with a dark car and don't want to get chips in the paint. Do you like clear bras like Xpel? If so, does anyone know a great install in the North or Central Florida area?

Britt,

You know what I have to say about clearbra. Not a single paint chip in 4200 miles of driving (knock on wood). Steve FL knows of a guy that travels throughout Florida that supposedly does excellent work.

It's all to do with the installer...with a very dark car such as yours, I think the results would be very satisfactory (invisible like)...

Dark cars can get away with it, looks horrible after time on light colors, and thats correct its all in the installation.

As you know, I have a white car and I love my clear bra, 3 trips to Central Florida and Back. NOt one paint chip, all I had to do is spray with "Plexicleaner" and wipe down.

Britt, wait until the our meet in a couple of weeks, "Auto super shield" will be their demonstrating and installing their product on Xico's car. That way you can get an idea of what the finished product looks like on a dark car. Also Steve (sporters78) has it on his seal grey TT

Orlando... will they install on my car if I like the demo? If so, I would like to put my name on the list after XICO.

The only way not to get chips in your paint is to not drive the car.

Britt, Do it! It'll give you a good peace of mind. Be sure to get a top notch installer. I have the Xpel kit on mine.

Robyn just had her new bumper done the next morning!

Thumbs up

We've got it on all of our cars, and always will on any future cars. We're at 5 and counting, 1 more in the next few weeks. Obviously we've been very impressed with it, and the darker the paint the more invisible the line. I'd go for it. It really does count on the installer, make sure you find a good reputable one.

I heard that 3M film is little yellowish (not 100% clear). So that It is color variation on light color especially white as mine. Please give me some comment.Should I do it or not?
