Clear bra and PPF (Paint Protection Film) are the same thing - "clear bra" is the older term, while "PPF" is the modern industry name. Both refer to transparent urethane film that protects vehicle paint from rock chips, scratches, and UV damage. At Auto Cosmetics in Chandler, we install XPEL Ultimate Plus PPF with self-healing technology that makes minor scratches disappear with heat from Arizona sun. Modern PPF won't yellow like old clear bras from the 1990s. Learn more about our clear bra installation services.
