Time Lapse Tesla Clear Bra

Clear Bra nowadays has up to 10 year warranties, 72″ widths and resistance to yellowing or fading. You, and the next owner of your Tesla will see a benefit down the road financially and mentally with piece of mind knowing your paint, looks new and value of your Tesla is not being chipped, bumped, scratched, and blasted away, diminishing the value of you Tesla needlessly during your ownership. The Tesla Vancouver Clear Bra installed by Vancouver ClearBra will leave your Tesla rock chip free without chips or sandblasting on the paint or head lights when the time comes to trade up.

Dark colored Tesla’s benefit greatly from clear bra as they will not need yearly machine orbital polishing aka color correction to get rid of swirls, spider webbing, scratches etc… Light colored Tesla’s will be protected from black spots on the bumpers due to rock chips stripping away the paint exposing the black plastic undercoating, parking lot bumps, key scrapes, minor wall collisions along with other wear and tear since the clear bra has long standing durability where applied, and is self-healing to a limit.

Keep in mind, one trip in the winter up the Coquihalla or whistler can easily result in the need for a whole front end paint job on your Tesla due to extensive rock damage. Spring and fall can be equally as bad as vehicles are travelling at a higher speeds.

Tesla owners generally opt for one of two main clear bra paint protection film options outlined below in Vancouver Canada, through us at Vancouver ClearBra. Below you’ll see a couple examples of Tesla Model S and Model X packages illustrated through pictures with the colored areas being the panels covered in clear bra which the same can be done for the Model 3 or Model Y.

Clear Bra Paint Protection Film

Clear Bra is made from urethane and known as paint protection film, clear guard, rock guard, paint shield, stone guard and even sometimes mistakenly called a vinyl bra. From here there’s a multitude of clear bra films like Xpel, GSWF, SunTek, Hexis, Stek, 3M, VentureShield and more. Many times, clear bra companies re brand the film they use.

Clear Bra’s original intent was to protect rotor blades on helicopters in a war environment and developed by 3M. From here, it was used on landing gears on aircraft to prevent rock damage. These old films would certainly always yellow although not a concern like on your new Tesla would be. From this point, it was brought into Nascar auto racing and then road vehicles. In early to mid 2000’s the rock chip and sandblasting protection afforded by the clear bra and 48″ width limits leaving un desired seams across hoods outweighed it’s looks and tendency to turn yellow / discolor. Fast forward in time like you are going to be in your Tesla and getting back to the future leads us to modern top coated films on the market that have up to ten year warranties. After near 9 years on the market I’ve yet to see signs of discoloration on these modern films like Xpel ULTIMATE Plus or Xpel STEALTH. Add to this the self-healing ability and widths to 72″ and we are now at a time when a quality installer can do an installation in which you’d have to look very close to tell there was anything installed on the paint of your Tesla.

Vancouver ClearBra Experience

From here, one should take the time to know who’s installing clear bra on your new Tesla be with me directly, or at the Tesla dealerships, as clear bra film is only part of the equation. Both Tesla models present challenges when it comes to obtaining a clean quality clear bra paint protection film installation. Through 17 years of dedication to clear bra in Vancouver market, and being the original certified clear bra installer in British Columbia has allowed me to see great changes over the years in films and installation quality. With this comes the experience to satisfy the most demanding Tesla clients. A clear bra will ultimately be protecting your return on the investment you’ve placed into your Tesla through hard work and dedication.

The type of plotter used to cut the clear bra patterns on down to the sharpness of the blade all matter and most importantly the software used to cut the kits is of paramount importance since it’s responsible for where the film ends and how it stretches and wraps on your Tesla. Therefore, I use a Graphtec plotter which is the industry leading plotter on the market. In addition, my software is the best in the market in speed of pattern availability, adaptability, and pattern design for your Tesla whether you have a Model 3, Model S, Model X or Model Y. The software was selected based on quality, not what it can save me in pattern cutting costs.

Tesla Clear Bra Expectations

To qualify the following statements, realize there is no such thing as a perfect clear bra, and at times there are needs to get together to remove some air bubbles, an errant edge that collected dust if not noticed during installation and drying. Installations may have very minor imperfections. As an example a minor grit of sand, a tiny lint, or very minor texture in a small isolated area on the surface of the film on a complex compound curve, due to adhesive disturbance and seen only with very close inspection. Due to the nature of installing all films, be it window tint, clear bra or vinyl wraps, issues such as lifting edges corners which are under a lifetime warranty, knife cuts, jagged cuts, full hair etc… aren’t an acceptable outcome. To further illustrate my point in the next paragraph and get a sense of the importance in selecting the right installer, simply view these atrocious clear bra installations I’ve had the misfortune to have seen, and replaced over the 17 years installing clear bra. I hate to say many go on in silence and will never let many people know if their bad clear bra installations as I’m sure they feel embarrassed for passing on the opportunity to work with a skilled vehicle protection service provider like Vancouver ClearBra

Bad Clear Bra Paint Protection Film Examples

If going through a dealership or as an example a tint shop, hobby installer, part timer you need to know who’s really installing behind the blade of your clear bra installation on your Tesla. Is it a new guy or someone who relies on deceptive pictures online and swift marketing to obtain their clients? I’ve been building long term relationships with clients including a returning client, who’d done his 4th car a couple years ago with me, being a BMW M3 and returning this week at time of writing with his 5th installation, this time on a new Tesla Model Y. Vancouver ClearBra would like to be your installer for your current and any future Tesla or other vehicle you obtain for years down the road as a returning clear bra client. Recently we had a client who updated me on the tale of a Dodge Viper ACR which came to me originally looking for a clear bra installation with Xpel ULTIMATE Plus. Unfortunately, he went elsewhere and the job wasn’t done well, leaving him to deal with the option of keeping it on his Viper looking bad, or having to replace the clear bra at some point soon with cost to him of over $6000 since the installer told him to take a hike. It doesn’t matter what your perceived idea about a shops reputation is, whether they use product A or B, how many likes, subscribers, 5 star reviews, or size of shop and location. In the end, it’s the skill of installer along with the selection of the right film and cutting software along with how they stand behind their work and its quality. You can see a plethora of close up pictures dating back to the early 2000’s. Some of the tesla’s I’ve done over the past years are below and can be found here as well.

As you see there’s a great deal to selecting the right installer for your new Tesla and further to the clear bra mentioned above on the Viper ACR which in itself a great example of what one can get in the local Vancouver market from a known shop, providing less than stellar clear bra results. Here is another vehicle that recently received a clear bra installation by another known installer in Vancouver and had to have the Full Coverage Xpel ULTIMATE Plus wrap removed on his Porsche 911 Carrera GTS only to have us reapply a whole new full coverage installation. We were only able to do the job in stages so the client could see the outcome of each step, as he was willing to cancel the clear bra plans if he could not have it look good. Fortunately, we were able to satisfy our clients requirements. Unfortunately for the owner of this Porsche, he didn’t know about Vancouver ClearBra till after the dealership installed the clear bra and delivered it to him.

Here is bad Porsche clear bra jobs by local installers I’ve had to replace over the 17 years of installing clear bra. We put these here as a warning for you to plainly understand just how decrepit the work can be from “known” supposedly “professional” clear bra installers in Vancouver which all circumstances required replacement at great cost, to the owners sadly.

Tesla Motors Club Sponsor

Vancouver ClearBra is now giving back to the tesla community as a vendor on Tesla Motors Club in the Tesla Canada forum where you’ll be able to find me helping out Tesla owners with their decisions on clear bra coverages for their Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X or Model Y electric vehicles.

Xpel Clear Bra Sealant and Xpel Cleaner

Two useful products to help extend the life of your clear bra paint protection film Xpel STEALTH or Xpel ULTIMATE Plus installation is Xpel Cleaner and Xpel Sealant both of which we have in stock on most occasions, when we can keep it in stock long enough. You get a sample of each when you get an Xpel clear bra paint protection film installation. The sealant and cleaner can be used on any film though.

Xpel Sealant

Xpel Cleaner

Think of this as a wax “wax on, wax off Daniel san…” and is a good addition to your clear bra surface albeit not mandatory. Although coming from owning a high end detailing company of luxury automobiles in the mid 2000’s I can tell you when the Xpel sealant is applied to your clear bra paint protection film it makes cleaning your vehicle far easier with most contamination falling off easily when sprayed with water. Xpel Sealant works by adding a thin layer of acrylic polymer to your Xpel clear bra

This cleaner is rarely used in day to day ownership of clear bra on your clear bra. Its intended use is on a stain that won’t come off with regular washing, which is very rare. It’s easy to use as you only need a microfiber cloth, spray it on the cloth and vehicle on the area of concern then wipe the affected area till the stain is gone and next clean the area off with water. I’d suggest to use hot water as to help with self healing any minor scratching you may have put on the top coat of the film. Don’t do it in the sun when the paint is hot.

There’s no question, it’s best to use a quality self-healing and orange peel free clear bra like XPEL ULTIMATE Plus , Xpel STEALTH, SunTek, Hexis, Stek or 3M Pro paint protection film for your Tesla Model 3, Model S, Model X or Model Y. If you’re looking to be unique and change your gloss paint to a matte satin finish or have matte satin paint you want to protect from rock chips and scratching then Xpel STEALTH is a film option you’d have to consider.
