Default Clear Bra

I remember last year when I went to the LA Auto show they were offering this clear bra for your car and it would protect your paint job from chipping, scraching, fading anyone have any information on this product?

Default xpel

the most popular choice for a clear bra appears to be XPEL

another one is called StoneGard

although you may install these on your own, it is strongly recommended by many to get it installed by a professional.

Xpel was one of the first companies. Another popular one is Starshield. Most of these clear bras are made of 3M's material. It's all 3M film marketed under different brand names.

I definitely recommend it. I have to order the rest of the pieces. So far I just have it on my headlights and fogs. I have a Lexus front end mask to cover the rest for the time being until the rest of the Xpel comes.
