[QUOTE="Van ClearBra, post: 208109, member: 3027"] Took a little longer then I wanted as we've been tied up with the C8 Corvette getting a full coverage, ceramic coating and tint done... To help clear up any misconceptions, virtually all brands do have a cheaper film that's designed to only last a year or two then fade or yellow. We avoid these films as no one wants a horrible looking clear bra paint protection film installation and we don't want people to see the problems of days gone by. This is why we stick to top coated high end films that are designed to last 10 years plus, with a warranty against yellowing, staining, bubbling, cracking. The main top end brands on the market that are warranted against yellowing or fading that you'll likely run into are Xpel Ultimate Plus, 3M Pro, SunTek Ultra and Stek Dyno. Any of these specific films are going to give you the longevity you'd require. As eluded to elsewhere in the post, the installer and the kits or patterns are some of the most important parts as even using top end films with lack of experience or well designed kits re likely to lead to a negative outcome in which you won't be too happy about. All brands look virtually the same when installed, very minor differences that one may only notice if 1' away from the vehicle searching high and low looking for a difference which likely would only be the amount of orange peel look. This said, it can also all depend on the roll as I've seen all brands come with more or less of an orange peel surface due to minor variances in the manufacturing process. Can also add that the glossiness of any of the brands mentioned are going to be top quality be it a black, white or any color vehicle. If you want an extra depth appearance or glossiness one would add wax which is kind of old school, a sealant or a modern nano tech ceramic coating on the surface of the film. This won't add any rock chip or scratch protection per sa to the film but will make it super easy to clean for up to couple years at most likely before needing to re apply depending on how you use and wash your vette. There are also touch up products that help keep the slipperiness of the coating going longer like Xpel Boost for example which is recommended every so often. If you visit my website [URL="http://blog.vancouverclearbra.com"]Vancouver ClearBra - Xpel 3M Clear Bra Paint Protection Film Vancouver BC Canada[/URL] you'll find a plethora of valuable information about clear bra and what makes the difference in an installer.
