Every car owner wants to keep their vehicle looking like new for as long as possible. However, daily wear and tear, as well as environmental factors, can quickly cause damage to your car's paint. Fortunately, there's a solution that can protect your car's paint and preserve its appearance for years to come - PPF or clear bra service.
“Since I make frequent trips to the mountains for skiing I am in the snow and icy conditions with my car. I feel confident that it is protecting my paint. ”
PPF or clear bra service is a protective film that is applied to your car's paint. It is made from a high-quality, transparent polyurethane film that is designed to absorb impacts and prevent scratches and other forms of damage. It is virtually invisible, so it won't affect the appearance of your car.
“What a great product & service! I was so thankful I found Autoshield and had a clear bra installed on my Jeep. Saved my paint in the first month! ”
There are several benefits to having PPF or clear bra service applied to your car, including: 1.) Protection from scratches, chips, and other forms of damage; 2.) Preserving the appearance of your car's paint; 3.) Enhancing the resale value of your car, and 4.) Saving money on costly repairs in the future
“I would highly recommend this place for the clear bra for your car. He did a great job putting the clear bra on my 2020 Honda Accord Sport. Would have him do work again on my cars. Thanks Dave Great Job.”
The PPF or clear bra application process involves the following steps: 1.) Thoroughly cleaning the surface of your car. 2.) Applying the film to the appropriate areas. 3.) Trimming the film to fit the contours of your car and 4.) Heating and smoothing the film to ensure a seamless finish.
“Dave is the best - someone you can trust. He did my entire front and did a fantastic job. I'm very picky with who I go with and Dave is the man.”
To ensure the longevity of your PPF or clear bra, it's essential to maintain and care for it properly. Here are some tips for maintaining your PPF or clear bra: 1.) Wash your car regularly with a mild soap and water. 2.) Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools on the film. 3.) Dry the film thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots. 4.) Consider having the film inspected annually by a professional. Call us at (916) 851-9777.
"Dave at Autoshield installed a clear bra on our Tesla model 3 and saved us $1,500. We’re super happy with the install and attention to detail that Dave put into his work. Would definitely recommend anyone in Sacramento needing a clear bra to go to Dave at Autoshield!"
Instructions for washing your car with an Autoshield clear bra kit is essentially the same as without the kit, except that you do not want to use heavy abraisives or rubbing compound on the film. You can damage it and the clarity or the film. Use mild soap and dry as usual. Wax is ok too, just note that you can get a wax line at the edge of the kit so may need to carefully remove was in those areas.
No, the paint protection film is designed with UV properties that do not cause UV discolorization. It will preserve the original paint color. However, if the uncovered parts of the car get treated with other chemicals and or long-term wear and tear - it may look slightly different. Keeping your car clean maintained helps with longevity! Yes - it is removable! Not that easy to do - but with some good ole fashioned elbow greece, you can remove the film years later. We can assist with that if you like.
Most cars require about 4 hours to install a full paint protection kit. Sicne there are a lot of variations on kit components, and vehicle sizes - it may be as little as 3 hours or all day in the case of a FULL coverage kit (covering the entire front end and quarter panels)
If you catch a small crack or "star" impact early enough it is possible to repair. The benchmark for how long a crack can be is generally in the 1.5" range or less.
“What an awesome way to protect your vehicle. If you just bought a vehicle or painted one, consider protecting that investment. Get a clear bra for your vehicle it's worth it! The owner is such a swell guy, they also do tinting and autoglass.” - SeanPaul Cuschieri
