Installed on new and used vehicles, XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as “clear bra”, is a nearly invisible film that is applied to the painted surfaces of your car (hood, fenders, bumpers, mirrors, etc.) to protect them from road debris such as rocks, bugs, salt, etc. ​ Made of a flexible, yet durable, urethane plastic, Paint Protection Film was initially designed to protect helicopter blades from debris during the Vietnam War. Since then, it has been used by various OEM manufacturers, NASCAR teams, and car enthusiasts to protect painted automotive surfaces from road rash and other debris.
