Is Clear Bra necessary if you have PPF on the car?
I bought the PPF package that my dealer was selling because they gave me a good discounted price. Wondering if a clear bra is still needed to protect against rocks and chips etc...
What do you guys think?

PPF= Paint Protection Film=Clear bra.
The PPF from the dealer will probably suck. If you're happy with it then you're fine.

PPF from the dealer was not clear bra. Its almost like an extra layer of protective wax laid over the paint to protect it from a bunch of stuff. It does not protect against rock chips and larger things that clear bra protects against. More of a whole-body protectant for the paint on the car rather than specific areas of the front of the car.

Here is the package I got from the dealer. Includes 7 year warranty that covers the whole car inside and out. Any damage to anything will be replaced at no charge.

$800. Expensive I know but mom was there with me...wanted to see the car and got it for me. Extra present i guess. She has it on her BMW so she thought it was a must. I explained to her that I could get better things done to protect the car for half the price. She didnt want to hear it.

You need a clear bra if you want to protect it against chipping. I have it on mine even though its a lease, I just hate paint chips.

Then the issue is you are using the wrong terminology. PPF is an abbreviation for paint protection film. You purchased the paint sealant, which you shouldn't have but its done. Its just a layer of paint sealant, it'll be gone in a month. $800...man thats such a ripoff.
