Paint protection film

[buddah51au]

Traditional paint protections including polymer coatings, sealants etc. will give you no protection from scratches or stone chips whatsoever, and minimal protection from bird cr@p damage. They do give the car protection from some environmental damage such as water spotting, and do make the car easier to wash.

The only effective scratch and stonechip protections are products like buddah51au is talking about, which is a clear car bra. It is effectively a thicker layer of durable clear plastic film, and usually only covers the front of the car and side mirrors to protect from stone chips. The only minor issue with this is that the extra layer of durable film makes the pearl in the paintwork look a little bit fuzzy. It's not very noticeable on lighter coloured cars unless you look very close, but it is somewhat noticeable on darker coloured cars.

Actually, if you had the dollars you could do the whole car with it "providing you had a good installer" It is very popular with exotic cars in USA to get a "FULL WRAP"
I know I have a white car, but the effect of the pearl is not effected
