Default Lets Talk Paint Protection...

I'm sure this has been beaten to death... but, I'd like to see what you guys prefer. My Millennium yellow C5 is coming out of the paint shop soon and I'd like to keep it looking like new.

I've seen this site... any input here? I don't see where they offer front end protection though? Did I overlook it?

I'm running a combination of 3M clear bra and a GM bra on my car. Never had a problem with either one, but the 3M stuff is pretty expensive. The GM bra does a great job of protecting the front end and the price is very good.

The Cleartastic kits for the C5 are made from the original film which has NO adhesive.
Since the kits are design for you to apply them yourself, no glue adds to the ease of the application.
The kits where made to handle areas that get hammered the worse, which is the lower extremities of the car especially behind the front and rear wheels where it wraps into the wheel well. These areas get sandblasted.
The film will take a beating & over time get marked up (rather then you paint). Simply peel them off (leaves no residue) and replace with a fresh new kit. The kits are very inexpensive.



We never created a front end kit with this film because of the compound curves.
However Cleartastic is fantastic for the lower rocker area in front of the rear wheel . The perfect alternative to mud flaps. We have been protecting Corvette paint since 1995.!
