Repeat client of ours just picked up this beautiful MP4. On the color black, it is an industry known issue that certain paint protection films (clear bra) are very noticeable. On black, two items must be aligned for the product to be truly clear:

1) The Installer - this is by far the most important of all. Here is an example of what happens when the wrong installer gets to work on a car:

Example: Brand new 2012 R8 V10 with razor cuts damaging entire front end - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...kes-again.html

2) The Product - the most critical color is black and having the clearest film be applied to it makes a noticeable difference in whether or not the installed film is really "clear"

Film we use - Prestige Film Technologies' ClearGuardX

*In addition to a full vehicle protection install on this MP4 (yes, the entire car is protected), we also applied Prestige's PhotoSync Nano Tint on the side glasses and the windshield

Let's get right to the photos

 

Now onto the paint protection film installation. We really love how clear this product is. Made in Japan by Prestige Film Technologies (www.prestige-films.com).....we love their stuff so much, we have to keep plugging them. ClearGuardX going onto the most critical of colors - Black!

Protection from rock chips and scratches. To some it is also important to preserve OEM paint.

Other reason - to protect from vandalism:

Thank you!

 

What's the point of taking photos from 5 feet away....here are some close ups to show the details:

 

Just look at the high clarity of this paint protection film! So yes, it is possible to get clear bra done without getting the pesky seams across the hood or anywhere else. Just make sure it is someone who knows what they are doing.....otherwise, this may happen to your car:

And here is a video test of Prestige Film Technologies PhotoSync65% with the windows rolling up and down to show how well this film performs. (the McLaren has PhotoSync45, which performs slightly better than the application in the video)

Conditions: 78 degrees
Time of test: 2pm

For those outside of California, check in with the manufacturer to see who is in your area that carries Spectra PhotoSync (www.prestige-films.com)

 

Time to show off the how clear ClearGuardX paint protection film is

 

One of the most commonly asked question is how well does Spectra PhotoSync compare with other window tint products. So we decided to actually put Spectra PhotoSync to test against a 5% metallic limo tint. Now keep in mind, the shades we used for comparison is PhotoSync65, 55, and 45, so much lighter compared to limo tint at 5%. There is also one major difference - the limo tint has metals in it so it can produce some decent heat rejection that would be comparable to a lighter ceramic based tint:
