2023 BMW 330i - Clear Bra/PPF and Ceramic Coating in Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights
Brand new cars deserve solid protection, and that’s exactly what we did for this Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights area client with their 2023 BMW 330i! Did you know that rock chips gradually damage the paint over time, making the installation of clear bra/PPF/paint protection film more difficult? Due to the fact that PPF is almost 3x as thick as vinyl, PPF does not conform to rock chips in the same manner as you would expect. That means rock chips with PPF over them will have an air gap, meaning a whitish/grayish area or bubble of film stands out more than factory paint. Additionally, the more miles you put on the car, the more likely debris can get into the film during installation, which wasn’t an issue for this 2023 BMW 330i.
We take every precaution to eliminate debris under our installations, from our misting system, clothes we wear, air filtration systems, and, as anyone that has been here can attest – our spotless, state-of-the-art facility. However, some debris (during day-to-day driving) can lodge itself in places that can only be fully eliminated by disassembling the car. For all these reasons, it’s best to get us your car (like this client did with her 2023 BMW 330i) asap!! Our clear bra is warrantied for 12 years against yellowing, cracking, and fading, and will stop MOST rock chips and debris (and scratches). The ceramic coating will make it SO much easier to clean up – no easy feat with white vehicles!

PAINT PROTECTION FILM/PPF/CLEAR BRA OPTIONS:
Typically, we would use STEK clear bra, Llumar, or Legend PPF gloss or matte paint protection film.

Moreover, there are minimal differences between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, STEK clear bra, Flexishield, Global, Legend, and more. Importantly, the key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which installers have to deal with, but generally don’t affect anything the client sees.
