Looking into getting a clear bra for my car just wondering if anyone has/had them. If they look fine and if they protect like they say and dont peel like they say.


Thanks

 

3M makes quality products. I personally had a VentureShield bra on my IX and liked it; thinner, clearer, and stronger, plus it carried a lifetime warranty against peeling, cracking, yellowing, etc.

 

I have the 3M clear bra on my 2004 350Z. It was applied when new (including the headlights) and it worked beautifully. I highly recoommend it! Now, after 8+ years it is wee bit worn & i am peeling it off and it comes off fine - no damage to the paint The headlights are still clear (no hazing).

 

This. The ventureshield clear bra is a good deal, you can buy it in bulk too so you can apply wherever you want. I've had it on my car for 20k + miles on the rear doors and side skirts. The drivers side skirt was damaged when my body shop was repairing my trunk so they removed it, the new paint job they did is already showing signs of debris wear. The passenger side which still has the clear bra looks as good as new.

 

need this too!!!!

 

I'm getting Xpel put on next week. Backed by a 10 year warranty and has self healing properties.

The installer used to use Ventureshield but subsequently switched to this brand. He works on Ferrari's so, he better be good.

 

X-Pel is garbage! Hope you don't have a white car. Will yellow in 4 months. Had it applied twice. Dealer will not honor his word or warranty to replace it again. They will give you excuses when it yellows. Had a guy install venture shield on opposite side. Had it for almost 2 years and no yellowing.

 

This is a brand new film that was shown off at SEMA. No way you have had it.

 

Hope they improved it! Is your car white?

 

Yes.

If your clear bra was installed 3 years ago, you probably don't have the newer film, which has a clearcoat topcoat. The newer clearcoated film is far superior to the older stuff and has much better UV protection so it won't yellow or get dull if properly maintained. I have actually polished out some pretty heavy defects out of the new film, which is a huge bonus.

Not only that but the new Xpel film self heals any scratches by just being out in the sun or warmed up. Crazy stuff. Saw it happen right in front of me.


Look it up. This stuff is amazing and I am psyched to have my paint protected by it.



This is the shop who will be doing the install. He used Ventureshield and switched to this.

Love me some lamin-x clear covers. Ordered the headlight / foglight covers as well. Good stuff.

 

I have the 3m. Very pleased.

 

SpardaVr4, please post pics of your car 4-6 months of having X-Pel on your car. Curious to see how it holds up. Thx

 

There already are pictures up. I wouldn't be putting this on my car unless I was absolutely certain. I searched and found some on a white Mini Cooper that's been on the car for 8 months.

But I will update in the future

 

Been researching the xpel stuff. I got quoted $350 w/ tax and a 10 year warranty for my headlights and my front bumper. What do you think? Is that a good deal?
