• Are you looking to protect your vehicle and keep it looking its best – long term?
• Have your past vehicles collected many paint chips that bothered you?
• Do you want your vehicle to keep its value longer?

If you answered yes to any or all of the above, then Paint Protection Film or Clear Bra is the perfect solution to protect your vehicle.

What is PPF, Clear Bra, and Paint Protection Film?

Paint Protection Film, otherwise known as Clear Bra or PPF, is the best solution to protect your vehicle from damage caused by road debris or daily life.

To explain it quickly; PPF is a layer of transparent plastic film laid over surfaces for protection. Think of it similarly to laminating a piece of paper.

This thick durable layer of plastic protection grants you peace of mind, knowing your vehicle surfaces will remain in their best state.

How Does PPF, Clear Bra, and Paint Protection Film Protect Vehicle Surfaces?

Paint Protection Film (a.k.a. PPF or Clear Bra) acts as a clear shield, guarding surfaces against rock chips and road debris. This durable layer of clear plastic film averages 8-10mils thick.

This is anywhere from ~125-190% thicker than most modern paint jobs. It’s is worth mentioning that PPF is about 100-125 times thicker than most ceramic coatings, which average at 1-2 microns of thickness.

The thick plastic construction of Clear Bra enables it to effectively deflect or absorb the force of road impacts of up to ~100mph. On applied panels, PPF guards surfaces against the most daily activities of life such as road debris, kids, dogs, shopping carts, and other drivers opening doors too quickly.

2. Will a Rock Chip bother you every time you notice it?
3. Do you want your vehicle to look its best, and maintain optimal value, over the course of ownership?
