Installation

Vancouver ClearBra brings value and service to our clients that’s unmatched by other local Vancouver shops in the clear bra paint protection film industry, and you will see why. Our experience installing 3M, Xpel, VentureShield clear bra paint protection film goes back to the mid 2000’s when I brought clear bra paint protection film to the Vancouver market through my high end detailing company with 3M clear bra paint protection film. We’ve since done work on near every imaginable car out there like Tesla, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Lotus, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Acura, Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley, Porsche, Range Rover, Aston Martin and others for dealerships and auto groups like Auto West Infiniti, Auto west BMW, Brian Jessel BMW, The BMW Store, Auto One, Auto Form, Affinity Auto, Park Shore BMW, Moncton BMW, Porsche Halifax, Lamborghini Vancouver, Weissach, Porsche center Victoria, Porsche centre Vancouver, Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver, MCL Motorcars, Jim Pattison Volvo, Jim Pattison Auto Group on to body shops such as Burrard Autostrasse, Coache Collision, No1 Collision, Marks Auto body, Korva World Class, Craftsman Collision to name some of the dealerships and auto body shops, I have done work for over the years as a clear bra paint protection film installer.

All clear bra installers are not created equal! The best film and patterns in the world mean nothing without an excellent installer. The application of PPF is not beyond most, but experience and a complete understanding of the film and patterns proves invaluable for a professional install. We are trained through Xpel Canada, 3M and certified with Xpel as a “Certified Paint Protection Film Installer”.

Patterns

Although clear bra training and certification sounds good, as in most professions, it takes a back seat to on the job experience. Vancouver ClearBra has been professionally installing paint protection film clear bra since 2004 and we’ve installed thousands of paint protection film clear bra kits. Many dealers refer us their more difficult installs and we have customers driving hundreds of miles to see us at times. Unfortunately, we still end up redoing kits that some other so-called “professional” has botched up. Not to mention the damage such as razor blade marks, film damage and paint scratches that many inexperienced paint protection film clear bra installers leave behind. New installers are likely to charge very low or break even fees so they can get experience, you must ask yourself do you really want to volunteer your vehicle to help them with their learning curve. Check out Me vs. Competition, see what type of clear bra you could be getting if you don’t come to a quality company like Vancouver ClearBra.

Free clear bra Patterns

All paint protection film clear bra patterns are not created the same! Several companies create their own digitized computer cut clear bra patterns for each vehicle. Their design abilities and focus vary dramatically. I have chosen to go the the best and most expensive setup for cutting kits to be assured you get the quality paint protection clear bra installation you expect.

There is no such thing as free and companies providing free clear bra patterns to installers as a sales tool for increasing the film sales for the clear bra they manufacture are doing a disservice to the paint protection film industry. You can see their priorities are in film sales vs. quality pattern design as most of the kits are of very poor design and fitment. These patterns are designed as quickly as possible as they need to focus their energy on selling film. Some installers go this route to offer a cheaper price. As the old saying here goes, “You get what you pay for” and in this case, free paint protection film clear bra patterns are worth every penny and not dollars.

D.I.Y. clear bra Patterns

There are many paint protection film clear bra patterns found on the Internet are meant for the do-it-yourselfer. This is very unjust to the consumer for 3 reasons:

  1. The patterns usually offer less coverage and come with several extra relief cuts beyond what’s needed. These help to aid in the ease of installation but do nothing for the appearance and protection of the vehicle.
  2. Using the least amount of film is the only options for these clear bra pattern suppliers in many circumstances. This means separating a one-piece kit into several spliced pieces so that it can be situated on the film to use less product. This keeps Internet prices, as well as some installer’s costs much lower. It may sound good until you consider that they are sacrificing quality and looks for a cheap price.
  3. Wholesale online suppliers buy back old kits from installers and dealers, miscuts, even damaged old stock film that has been sitting around for years; in order to meet the markups they require. The prey on, and sell to an uneducated consumer products, which are mostly for professional installation. You can go buy lumber fairly cheap, but it is a whole different task to build a house from it.

Bulk Film Installers:

Vancouver ClearBra uses bulk film at times on for example full hoods and areas there may not be a kit for, but not on partial hoods as an example. Many others use bulk to keep clear bra costs down (no download or pattern fees). They stretch and install the full sheet onto the area to be covered and then hand cut the pattern right on the paint. This means a razor blade thousands of an inch from your paint (hopefully). With an excellent installer, this is a valid option and allows extra flexibility for vehicles that don’t have the desired size patterns available. The problem is that a great deal of installers our not worthy of the “excellent installer” title and you can imagine the damage that can be done with a razor blade on your new vehicles painted surfaces.

*side note: installers that plot their own kits via computer are much more likely to fix a piece that isn’t perfect (e.g. pieces of dirt under film) while an installer that orders the kits will more likely take the “see if they complain” route.

Vancouver ClearBra Patterns

We manufacture our Vancouver ClearBra paint protection film kits in house via the best Xpel software in the industry hands down and computerized top of the line Graphtec plotter. This means we have the best patterns available real time, at the push of a button. We pay a premium for each kit downloaded but the price is well worth it. The fit and coverage is second to none and after searching all other options we are proud to be allied with a company like Xpel that designs its patterns with overall appearance and protection in mind, not savings on film and fees. Saving money on download fees, having more pieces to ease installation and less coverage to save on material costs are not viewed as a benefit to Vancouver ClearBra. Providing the best available protection to our clients is of utmost importance. All kits are designed as one piece when ever possible. Looks, wrapped edges, fitment, and coverage are top priority to us. We are also able to offer options such as full hoods, bikini cuts, and wrapped edges as our films come up to 72″ wide.
