Chevrolet Avalanche Xpel Ultimate

Bob’s concerns are warranted for his Vancouver ClearBra paint protection film installation as he will be driving to the interior at times. This will have his 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche Xpel Ultimate exposed to a good deal of winter driving with lots of sanded and salted highways.

With the 24″ front end clear bra installed the vehicle will now be protected from all kinds of highway damages that it would incur and have a higher resale value compared to others who opted to not get a clear bra paint protection film installation from Vancouver ClearBra vehicle protection services.

Client:

Robbie

Vehicle:

2014 Lamborghini Aventador Orange

Location:

Whiterock BC Canada

Concerns:

Robbie first reached out to me at Vancouver ClearBra for a Clear Bra paint protection film installation after he took deliver of his new Lamborghini Aventador in amazing Orange and black accents. Robbie’s not one to leave his cars in the garage and feels they should be driven, not sitting being looked at. This is also apparent as the Canadian Bullrun organizer and event attendee. His notable fleet of vehicles include a couple of Lamborghinis, Lotus Bentley, R8 and others. Robbie’s worries are warranted for his desire to get a Vancouver ClearBra Xpel paint protection film clear bra installation, as he drives the highways a good deal from White Rock and attends racing events often with his Lamborghini Aventador.

Included on the install:

• Full Hood (all edges wrapped)
• Full Fenders (all edges wrapped)
• Mirrors
• Front Bumper
• Rocker Panels
• Headlights

Conclusion:

Once myself and Robbie had time to speak we came to the conclusion to go with full front end and rocker panels with Ventureshield Ultra, as this was the best option at the time. I would currently recommend Xpel Ultimate for the best looks, self healing and coverage. The coverage was needed to help protect the value of his new Lamborghini Aventador for resale or trade in along with keeping it protected. I did go to bat for a full coverage, like the Lamborghini Aventador deserves, however with the amount of time Robbie will own it, this did not make sense to him. Preferably on the next one we can get it fully wrapped.

Frequently Asked Questions about Xpel Ultimate Self Healing

“How does XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection Film Clear Bra heal itself?”

XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection Film clear bra uses a special polymer in its clear coat that flows even though it is cured. This allows the clear coat to find its natural level again after being disturbed on the surface.

“How deep a scratch will heal on Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film Clear Bra?”

The clear coat is designed to heal surface scratches and common swirl marks that occur during routine washing of the car. If the scratch penetrates through the film’s clear coat, it will not heal.

“How long does it take for a scratch to heal on Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film Clear Bra?”

The time for a scratch to heal depends on the severity of the scratch and the ambient temperature. Minor scratches usually heal in one hour at room temperature (72°F). In warmer climates, healing time will be shorter. The healing process can be accelerated at any time by pouring hot water over the scratched area.

“How many times will the clear coat heal itself on Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film Clear Bra?”

With this technology, there is no limit to the number of times the clear coat can heal itself. As long as the clear coat is not penetrated it will heal over and over again.

“How long will the clear coat last on Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film Clear Bra?”

Depending on how the film is cared for, the clear coat can last indefinitely. Regular washing and waxing will keep the clear coat in top condition for years to come.

Porsche GT3 Clear Bra Xpel Ultimate

Ernie is an excellent repeat customer who had his Porsche 997 Turbo wrapped with a clear bra last using a Xpel clear bra paint protection film installation. Ernie has very high demands for quality work. He is surely a Porsche connoisseur no doubt, with a number of them collected at his inspiring location deep in the trees near Victoria. Ernie was referred to Vancouver ClearBra by another great customer in the Victoria area with a few Porsches in his collection. Ernie will be attending racing events throughout Canada and the US with his new Porsche Clear Bra Xpel Ultimate and without a Vancouver ClearBra paint protection film clear bra full coverage installation on his Porsche GT3 Ernie would likely need a paint job yearly to keep his new Porsche Clear Bra Xpel Ultimate in pristine condition like his other automobiles.

Warrens concerns are warranted for his Vancouver ClearBra paint protection film installation as he lives near Creston BC Canada.

Clear Bra Competition Bad Work

Some of the clear bra competition bad work you’ll see below is just a small sample of local Vancouver installations we’ve seen and redone at Vancouver ClearBra through the years installing paint protection film clear bra throughout Vancouver Canada. A great deal of this is done by detail, vinyl and tint specific shops who are great in their field, yet don’t understand how to work with clear bra paint protection film like Vancouver ClearBra, which adds to the clear bra competition bad work seen. Vancouver ClearBra has been focusing on Xpel, 3M Clear Bra paint protection film installations since 2004. Much of the bad work I see recently is from higher end dealerships, calling me to fix work gone wrong by new installers as sometimes they seek the lowest cost per installation vs the best clear bra installer to insure the highest quality clear bra and happy client. Be sure to ask your dealership if Vancouver ClearBra will be the installer.

As you see Vancouver ClearBra is always trying to offer the best quality clear bra paint protection film installations with new clear bra paint protection films as they come to market. 3M has alway been a very strong brand name although their response time to installers needs has always been slow to market from my perspective. This said, 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film Pro is adding up to be an excellent film and will see how it stands up to Xpel ULTIMATE for clarity and long standing clear bra paint protection film quality control standards in time.

Come Spring 2016 Vancouver ClearBra will be receiving a new BMW M235i Cabriolet which will have a full coverage clear bra installed with both films to allow my clients to view the films side by side and test its longevity.
