At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we have a soft spot for BMWs with clear bra and ten year System X ceramic coatings! Yep, you guessed it – our BMW i8 has clear bra and a 10 year System X ceramic coating as well! This Killeen-area client knew it was time to put a stop to rock chips and road debris, and of course, he reached out to us at HHCC to install! Our ten year ceramic coating is quickly becoming one of our most popular ceramic coating packages as owners keep their vehicles longer. If you want to see how System X 10 year ceramic coating works when installed on top of our BMW clear bra, check out the video on our channel!
This BMW clear bra project began with just a front bumper paint protection film/PPF. However, after speaking with the client, we agreed that it might be better to protect the hood against future rock chips. The Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights area has the Central Texas Expressway, which always seems to be under construction, especially heading east towards Temple. It’s very easy to pick up rock chips without our BMWs having clear bra.
We used a trick to mask some existing rock chips on this BMW clear bra job. While your first inclination might be to use a touch-up pen, we have a better method. A touch-up pen tends to be raised up, which would cause an air gap on this BMW clear bra install. A crayon, matched as closely as possible to the paint as possible (we have a massive Crayola crayon set), will mask about 70% of existing chips without air gaps.

PAINT PROTECTION FILM/BMW clear bra OPTIONS:
Typically, we would use STEK clear bra, Llumar, or Legend PPF gloss or matte paint protection film. Next, This clear bra article covers the major differences between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any. 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.
is BMW clear bra/paint protection film the same as xpel film?
Of course, our clients at HHCC frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film. Naturally, our clients want to know if Legend PPF, STEK, Llumar, Kavaca, and other brands compares to Xpel at all. Did you know, a lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands? Besides the information above about clear bra/PPF, we also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as PPF/clear bra in this article.
