What Is a Clear Bra?
A Clear Bra is a type of Paint Protection Film (PPF) that covers high-impact areas of your vehicle’s exterior to prevent damage from rock chips, road debris, insects, and other environmental hazards. It’s virtually invisible and works like armor for your car’s paint.
At Merit Tint, we use industry-leading PPF from 3M and STEK, offering top-tier clear bra protection for your hood, front bumper, side mirrors, fenders, and more.
Why Clear Bra Paint Protection Is Essential
Driving in Van Nuys and the surrounding Los Angeles area exposes your car to:
- Daily sun exposure and UV rays
- Freeway speeds that kick up stones and road grit
- Tight urban parking that increases scratch risk
- Tree sap, bird droppings, and environmental contaminants
A professionally installed clear bra helps to:
✅ Preserve your car’s showroom finish
✅ Prevent rock chips and minor scratches
✅ Maintain resale value
✅ Avoid costly repainting or touch-ups
✅ Keep your paint looking flawless for years
And unlike wax or ceramic coatings, a clear bra physically blocks damage before it happens.
Clear Bra vs. Full PPF: What’s the Difference?
You may have heard both terms used—so what’s the difference?
- Clear Bra (Partial PPF): Covers high-impact zones only (hood, bumper, fenders, side mirrors). This is ideal for daily drivers and city commuters.
- Full PPF: Covers the entire vehicle for total protection, especially for luxury or exotic vehicles.
At Merit Tint, we offer custom coverage options to meet your protection needs and budget. Learn more about our full Paint Protection Film services.

FAQs About Clear Bra Protection
1. How long does a clear bra last?
With proper care, a high-quality clear bra can last 5–10 years.
2. Will the clear bra affect the look of my car?
Not at all. It’s virtually invisible and enhances the gloss of your paint.
3. Can a clear bra be removed?
Yes. It’s fully removable without damaging your paint when professionally installed.
4. Does the clear bra protect against UV rays?
Yes. Our 3M and STEK films offer UV resistance to prevent fading and oxidation.
5. How much of my car should I cover with a clear bra?
Most customers opt for a partial front-end (bumper, hood, mirrors). For maximum protection, consider full vehicle coverage.
Don’t wait until your paint chips and scratches add up.
