Questions about ClearBra USA
VentureShield® Paint Protection
What is VentureShield?
VentureShield® Ultra is the toughest chip protection film on the market. Combining excellent elastic properties and optical clarity with a high shear and tack adhesive, VentureShield is highly resistant to the day-to-day abuse coming from stones and road debris. Ultra now has an integral top coating which resists dirt and soil even better than before, staying completely clear, even on white cars!
Can VentureShield be washed and waxed?
Yes, you may wash and wax your car as if it were not present. In fact, we suggest you do wax the VentureShield protective layer just the same as the rest of the car, to ensure against uneven fading of your car's paint.

What is the difference between "WRAP" and "NO WRAP" kits?
NO WRAP kits are easier for the enthusiast to install - they are intended to lay on the surfaces, but not roll over the edges. WRAP kits are approximately 1/2 inch larger in all dimensions, providing extra material so it can be rolled over the edges and secured underneath. This gives better protection, particularly along the leading edge of the hood, but is more difficult and time consuming to install.
Why is it needed now? My Dad's car didn't need it.
1. Paints are different now than 20 years ago, and they are applied differently. Many of the environmentally unfriendly ingredients, such as lead, have been removed. Unfortunately, these ingredients are also what made paint more durable. Also, paints are applied much thinner now than in years past, being applied by computers. While this allows for greater initial quality, the thinner paint is far less durable
2. Chrome-plated metal parts have disappeared. Where bright trim IS used, it is virtually always electro-plated plastic, which is vulnerable to stone chip damage.
3. Headlights, formerly made of heavy, durable glass, are almost universally made of lightweight, super-clear plastic. While they are highly impact resistant, they are vulnerable to rock dings, scratches and scuffs from everyday driving
Is there any special care required for VentureShield®?
No! The only thing you need to do is wash and wax the car normally, using any good brand of automotive wash and wax.
What does the warranty cover?
The manufacturer's lifetime warranty is against yellowing, bubbling or cracking. These are the things you need to think about when using a plastic product out of doors.
How does VentureShield ® compare to similar products?
VentureShield® is distinctly smoother, clearer and stronger than other film products. For example, VentureShield is more puncture resistant, making it much better at deflecting rocks and road debris, without damage to your paint. Combined with the progressive technology top layer, it will last for years without loss of appearance, yellowing, etc., caused when other top coats fail.
Why do I need this?
With the gleaming finish of the paint intact, your automobile will retain more value at trade-in time! Additionally, you'll enjoy the beauty of the original finish while being able to drive and enjoy the car, year round, year after year. Don't let the slow degradation of your auto's appearance diminish your pride of ownership!
Do you use pre-cut patterns?
Yes, we use patterns provided by Invisible Patterns, a subsidiary of VentureTape. The patterns we use nearly always provide for the leading edges of hoods to be wrapped, eliminating the damage from rocks that would otherwise occur in this vulnerable area.
Will it diminish or alter the appearance of my car?
Your ClearBra will protect your car for years and remain virtually invisible. In fact, from 5 feet away, most people will never even know there is anything on the car! And, yet, you'll have the finest paint protection film available in place, with a lifetime manufacturers warranty against yellowing, bubbling or cracking from UV exposure.
Can VentureShield® be used to protect headlights?
Yes! Due to the extreme optical clarity of VentureShield, it will not diminish light transmission from your headlights, while providing 100% protection.
How long should I wait to install VentureShield® after painting the car?
The guy at the body shop said I need to wait a month. Is this true? Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer for this one. The guy at the body shop is trying to cover himself by insisting on a month to allow the paint to cure. However, we frequently install VentureShield over repairs that are only one or two days out of the paint shop, AT THE BODY SHOPS, with no ill effects. VentureShield is 'gas permeable', meaning that the paint can continue to out-gas and cure without any adverse effects. Our position is that if the paint is properly applied, baked and road-worthy, the installation can proceed immediately. However, because we have no control over how the prep work is done, how well the paint is applied, if and/or how long the paint is baked, etc., we cannot be liable for paint that lifts or might otherwise be damaged during the course of installation or removal.
