There is a lot of outdated information on forums about "Clear Bra". Let's clear the air and separate the 2010 myths from the 2025 reality.
Myth #1: "It Looks Like Plastic on My Car"
Fact: Modern Film is Invisible
Cheap vinyl looks like plastic. High-end TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) has the same refractive index as clear coat. When we wrap the edges, you literally cannot see it.
Myth #2: "It Will Turn Yellow"
Fact: UV Inhibitors Solved This
Early films yellowed because the adhesive broke down under UV light. XPEL now uses a patented adhesive formula that remains clear for a decade.
Myth #3: "It's Too Expensive"
Fact: It's Cheaper Than Painting
A full front end repaint at a certified body shop is $1,500 - $2,500 and devalues the car (it's no longer original). PPF costs about the same but keeps the original paint intact.
