Install Clear Bra & Get Invisible Protection of Your Car’s Paintwork

As the name suggests, a clear bra is an invisible layer of film that is aimed to protect the paintwork of your vehicle. It is a category of paint protection films in the form of a very thin, but strong layer of polyurethane that covers the surface of a car. In order to retain all its protective properties, it must be installed by professionals. Here at Tinting Chicago, we offer only top-of-the-market PPFs.

Why install a clear bra?
In the past, paint protection film was only a thing for car enthusiasts willing to invest thousands of dollars in the original paintwork protection. These days, that’s not the case and a clear bra is accessible to any driver. Just like covering the screen of a smartphone helps to protect what is underneath, a clear bra is a sensible solution to cover and protect your car with paint protection film. Paint protection film can be used to cover your entire car or just its specific parts. It can also be removed or replaced whenever you want, without affecting the original paintwork.

3 things to keep in mind when getting paint protection film
Before getting a clear bra for your vehicle, make sure to:
- Visit a reputable shop in your area with experienced technicians that will apply the film to the highest standards. The last thing you want is bubbles or uneven cuts that affect the look of your car. If you live in Chicago or nearby areas, our experts can assist you.
- Choose a trusted brand. In our shops, we only work with XPEL which offers the highest quality products and a 10-year warranty.

No — if the underlying paint job was original and if the PPF application was done correctly. When removing a clear bra, it’s also recommended to go to a specialist as they will use a heat gun and adhesive remover to not leave any sticky residue behind. If you decide to add the film yourself, then the risk of getting the paint damaged is much higher. So if you care about your car, take it to a professional to handle the job.
