Mine was installed 2 yr. ago. It still looks perfect.

Make sure you polish the car really well before you put the bra on.

I have been thinking about getting a clear bra but not sure which one to order? Any suggestions on a brand? links?

Chuck33079 · 07-24-2013, 03:05 PM

I'd have a good local installer handle it. It's not an easy DIY. 3m and venture shield seem to be the most common brands.

xpel ultimate is what i used per recommendation by xpel himself. i think he's a vendor or a sponsor or something.

it has self-healing surface so swirls from fingers, towels, you see a lot on clearbras dissappears.

Mine still 99.5% perfect after 2 yrs,

The installer said to give it a few days in the sun to settle out, which I have, but I don't see it changing. Time for a redo?

If you aren't having luck where you went, Mark at Clear Autobra on Kirkham road in Webster does excellent work. If this is where you went, he should redo it no problems!

My clear bra looks like orange peel. it was done by some douche at the dealer 6 months ago. it's started peeling.

kenchan · 08-12-2013, 11:18 AM

is there warranty on the material or work? i would start there.

damian_mb · 08-12-2013, 12:28 PM

Mines looks perfect with no imperfections at all. They had me go over their work before they wanted my money and let me drive off.

mults · 08-12-2013, 01:17 PM

Mine covers about 3/4 of the car and I defy anyone to tell where it is installed. Yours may smooth out a little in the heat, but it should have NO ripples if it is installed correctly.
