How to Clear Bra a Car

Clear bra—also known as paint protection film or PPF—is the perfect way to protect factory paintwork or a new paint job. But how do you do it? 

Actually, the question should be more along the lines of, “should I clear bra a car myself, or should I leave it to the experts?” While you can certainly purchase a DIY clear bra to install at home, we thought we’d offer an alternative view as to why an inexperienced person really shouldn’t attempt it…

Why clear bra?

Clear bra is the ideal choice to protect a vehicle that’s sporting close to immaculate paintwork. That could be one that’s not long out of the factory or after a new spray on an older car. It can also be considered over a car wrap, depending on the complexity of the pattern.

Clear bra paint protection does exactly as the title suggests. It helps prevent damage to the paint from stone chips, environmental damage (UV rays, acid rain, bird dropping, etc.), plus it makes the car easier to keep clean, thanks to its hydrophobic properties.

Another advantage of clear bra protection is that the original paintwork remains in great condition, so the resale value of the car is increased.

How clear bra is installed 

In its most basic terms, installing the product on a vehicle involves the following:

• A semi-sterile area in which to work on the car: This means a spotless, indoor, climate-controlled location with perfect lighting to highlight even the slightest imperfection on the vehicle.
• Cleaning the vehicle so not a single scrap of dirt or dust remains: If this isn’t done to perfection, you’ll end up sealing particles beneath the clear bra—and that’s certainly not the look you’re trying to attain…
• Pattern-perfect product cutting: Templates need to be created that perfectly match each section of the car to be coated. This involves intricate measuring (that the pros will ensure by utilizing computer programming) and careful cutting.
• Skill and patience: This is not a job that can be rushed. Installing clear bra takes time and expertise. 

DIT vs. professional clear bra paint protection

To be honest, the above has probably communicated exactly why the application of clear bra is something best left to the experts. However, the fact remains that many people do purchase DIY kits and attempt it at home. Far be it from us to say this is unwise. However, perhaps we can better get the point across by giving the advantages of a professional installation.
