Why XPEL
What is a clear bra? It’s paint protection film.
Clear bra is the everyday name for paint protection film (PPF). We install XPEL because it protects without changing your car’s look. Care about paint and resale? It’s the move.
Stops rock chips
Built to take the hits from road debris that would otherwise chip or scar your paint.
Self-healing
Light swirls and wash marks can fade with heat, so the film stays looking clean.
High gloss clarity
Optically clear film that keeps your paint’s shine and color exactly as it is.
Long-term durability
Resists staining and yellowing when installed and maintained correctly.
- Not sure how much clear bra you need? Start with Full Front if you drive highways often. For maximum protection and easy upkeep, go Full Vehicle.

“This is my second vehicle protected by TCT Wraps. The first had clear front-end PPF and rocker panels, and after years of driving it held up incredibly well. The protection made the car much easier to sell, and I didn’t hesitate to return for my next vehicle.”
