Car Paint Protection and Clear Bra Saves You Thousands In Repairs

If you see a few small bubbles after PPF installation, don’t panic! This is normal and the moisture causing the bubbles will evaporate within a few days. If you see large air bubbles, the PPF was not installed correctly.

PPF enhances the paint of your car as it is. Since a car is likely to have some uneven paint and minor scratches (even straight from the factory) it’s a good idea to do paint correction before PPF.

Technically yes. However, takes a lot of time, patience, and attention to instructions. If you want it done well and without a headache, it’s best practice to have a professional install it.

XPEL (the brand we use) is arguably the best on the market given its 10-year warranty. 

XPEL paint protection carries a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, covering both film and labor.

Yes, it can! Sun Stoppers can do this for you, or you can try doing it yourself but be very careful because it can pull the clear coat off with the film if not properly removed.

The paint protection film is thicker than a ceramic coating and has a chemical composition that allows it to self-heal.

If you are offered paint protection at a dealership, it’s probably best to turn it down. This paint protection isn’t high-quality and doesn’t last long. While there’s no reason you MUST apply a high-quality paint protection film to your vehicle after purchase, it does allow you to retain the value of your vehicle.

Yes – but it’s best to wait at least 48 hours to wash your car after the film is applied. This allows the protective film to dry completely.

Different dealerships offer various paint protections, but the most common is some kind of synthetic paint sealants. While these sealants do help to protect your vehicle they are less effective than ceramic of glass coatings (which are less effective than protective films).

You can apply wax to a vehicle that has a paint protection film. Just make sure the wax doesn’t contain Kerosene or Naptha in over 5% concentration. Also, avoid waxes that come with dyes.

Yes, putting clear bra on your car and PPF are essentially the same thing – just different ways to talk about it.
