Clear Bra recommendations for GTS?

Curious if most of you are applying some protection to your front and/or rear bumpers and what products you suggest? I will be taking delivery of a white GTS in a few days and want to arrange for the baby to get wrapped. Given the height of the vehicle I am not sure how necessary it is...I have always done it with my cars and thinking I need similar for the Cayenne.

Absolutely have it done. Ours has the entire front area, headlamps, mirrors, pillars, behind the door handles(womens fingernails scratch like crazy) and approx. 6-7" of the roof done. 3M.

I wrapped my entire front. Bumpers, pilars, mirrors, and I also did a 7 inch strip on the roof.
ALWAYS get your car / suv/ monster truck clear bra'd.
Anything I drive on the road is covered in plastic.

Also interested in this. Any of you guys know where to get this clear bra in Vancouver, BC? How much does a full body wrap cost?

I am not sure on the white that it can be done and sustained like new, white cars with protective layering "clear bra" are known to yellow by time due to sun and the heat.

A lot of the older films did yellow due to exposure of from the sun. You will also have issues if you do not use a good wax or sealant on them once installed. Some waxes will yellow over time though... and the clear bra will absorb what you put on it. So if you use a good sealant then you will really not have any problems. I have actually found an acrylic sealer that was originally made for aircraft windshields to fill in fine scratches and help the water bead off of it. I have found it works excellent on clear bras and also helps prevent bugs from staining the film. It puts a fantastic shine on the film and seals the surface up making it very easy to clean bugs off.
