Safety From The Sun

UV rays are highly detrimental for any surface. They can make a vinyl sun baked or give a yellow tinge to your vehicle’s paint leading it to fade. A clear wrap protects the paint underneath from the harmful UV rays so it can remain bright and brilliant for a long time.

Heals Itself

Clear wrap comes with a self-healing top-coat. This is one of the most amazing qualities of this film. Hence if it gets minor scratches, it heals over time. If you feel like it needs some help, heat can be applied to it which can revert the film to its original perfect state. Clear wraps are also waterproof. Water and wet mud will not stay on it hence it does not get water marks or looks dirty.

Pocket Friendly

With so many benefits, clear film installation does not burn a hole in your pocket. If your vehicle’s resale value is intact and its paint looks perfect, clear film is the best choice you have made.
