What do people think of Clear Bra Paint Protection?

flashburn · 09-04-2010, 05:43 AM

Scratches easy? I've had my VentureShield on my entire front end for around 8 months, not a single scratch. There are some really small knicks from rocks, but they are only visible if you are standing inches away from the car, and none of them have gone through the film.

Thank goodness. Came out perfect shiny black.

My Clear Bra installation took about 2 hrs. with 5 yrs of warranty nationwide.

Can Anyone recommend a Clear Bra installer in the philadelphia area?

Thank You!

I just had Rick at Body Skins do my car last week. We used the Xpel Ultimate. Stuff looks GREAT!!! You can barely see it on the car. Rick did a fantastic job on my car and literally spent over an hour explaining the pros and cons of the different materials, how to take care of the bra, etc. He really seems to stand behind his product and work. Hopefully I will never have to put that to the test, but I would HIGHLY recommend him. Just do what he says and you will be happy with the outcome.

My installer covers central southern states and does a lot of work on exotics. I am very happy with a nearly full wrap on my 370.

yah, depends on the material. i used xpel 8mil on the side rockers of my Z (just bought a generic 4" width roll from amazon) and it did yellow slighly in about 1.5yrs. i removed it since it had lots of kickup marks from the front tire.

this time im running scotch 6mil and not only was it easier to apply, it is very clear so far.

I have it on my 09. its awesome. totally worth it !!! no more bugs splat marks and no more paint chips. I have it on my mirrors, about 1/3 of the hood and the entire front bumper.

I noticed mine peeling a bit in the corners near the wheel well. I could probably trim the piece off with an Exacto..

It was done spring 2011, so either thats normal or my buddy needs to work on his installing skill

rebe945 · 01-18-2013, 08:32 AM

with UltraVentureshield is still as good as day one. Any slight blemishes can be removed by using a cleaner(non abrasive) wax. I cannot imagine my Z looking ths perfect without the shield.

yah, trim it off without pulling if you can.

pulling will make permanent mark.

Damn... Mine has some small tiny pieces on the hood. Little cracks I'm assuming rock. I'm guessing I should get this clear bra paint protection?
