Clear Bra For RV Paint Protection

The days of the old black RV bra are over. Step into the future of paint protection with Diamond Shield clear bra paint protection film.

There is no doubt that the front of your RV needs some protection from road hazards, including, bugs, rocks, road debris, etc. If you drive an RV just a few miles without any protection on the front, you will most likely find some damage has already occurred. Over the course of months or years this damage can become very significant requiring several thousand dollars of paint repair, not even counting the loss of the use of the coach while it is in for repair if you are a full-timer.

Until just the last few years the only alternatives for paint protection were the big black bra (the most popular choice) or the mounted plastic Lexan shield that bolts on the front.  Before we discuss the benefits of our clear bra paint protection film let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these other products first.

Clear BraBlack bra - This option will definitely keep rocks and road debris from harming your paint. However, cleaning bugs off of it can be much more challenging than just removing them from the painted surface. You also MUST remove the bra regularly, in between washes to clean the dirt and dust buildup on the back of the bra. This is done with a stiff bristle brush and it is not only time consuming but takes lots of effort as well. If you don't do this as you should expect even more damage to your paint because the dust buildup on the back of the bra begins to act like sandpaper on the paint finish as you travel down the road. And, you must remove the bra whenever washing your RV as trapped moisture can even set up mold and mildew behind the bra material. Finally, why would you want to pay the money for a beautiful paint job on your RV only to cover it up with a big black bra?

RV Paint ProtectionBolt-on Plastic Lexan Shield - This option also prevents rocks, bugs, and debris from harming your paint, but now you have 3 surfaces to clean on the front of your RV instead of one: (1) the front of the shield, (2) the back of the shield, (3) and the front of the RV itself. You will have to remove the plastic shield whenever any cleaning or maintenance work needs to be done to the front of the coach or inside the hood, and that means unbolting the pieces for removal. This is time consuming and can be hard work. This is also the most expensive option, often costing several thousand dollars. Finally, again you are interfering with the beauty and appearance of the front of your RV with this option

Clear Bra Paint ProtectionClear Bra Paint Protection Film - Once agin, this option will protect the front of your RV from rocks, bugs, and road debris. But this option does not cover up any of your beautiful paint job or interfere with the appearance of the coach in any way.
