Cool Satin full body clear bra wrap on Rhodium Silver GT3 (by request)

Per a number of requests, here is Rhodium Silver wrapped up with satin clear bra. I feel these images properly capture the spirit of a satin clear bra wrap. Please enjoy!

For full story and all of the befores and all after shots, check the article out here: Rhodium Silver GT3 saved from poor clear bra wrap and buttoned up with satin full body wrap

Very unique and I love it. Impeccable job. I'm really not up to speed in clear Satin bra, is it something fairly new? Is there any different maintenance that needs to be done vs. normal clear bra?

That looks amazing!!

Curious about maintenance as well, probably way easier than satin paint.

Does it go on every color? I have a Racing Yellow GT4 coming in, wonder how it would look with that.

Thanks! My whole team sees things the same way I do. So it makes life a bit easier to have a bunch of OCD people picking on each other's work. lol

Satin clear bra has been around only a few years but in the last year it has gained a lot of traction among private owners. Care is very similar to regular PPF. There are minor differences.

Satin paint, like BMW's Frozen Finish, is much more prone to issues in the long term. The main reason is that satin paint can not be polished, if you get a rock chip you can't just touch it up and regular washing maintenance is more intensive and requires more attention. Satin clear bra looks fantastic but you do not have to worry about, say, pressing too hard while you dry the car and changing the way the paint looks. Satin paint is fairly sensitive and satin clear bra can be replaced piece by piece if necessary.

I can't say how it would look on yellow as I have not wrapped a yellow car with satin clear bra. Just go ahead and send it my way and we can figure it out together! lol -seriously though, when someone comes in, if they are not sure if satin ppf is for them, we can install a section so they can see it in person. There is no substitute for seeing this finish in person.

One other point about satin clear bra guys. It allows metallic flake to pop through somewhat. This is one of the main differences in a matte wrap and satin. Satin will have a slight sheen as well as the ability for metallic flake to show through. If you go back and view the images that are a bit tighter to the bodywork, you can notice the metallic flake popping through the film.

It really is a tasteful and sporty look.

Thanks again for all the kind words folks. It's good to be among like-minded enthusiasts!

One additional point. My client chose to not have any conditioner/dressing on the tires. That was not missed by us.

Who makes the satin wrap? XPEL or someone else?

How far in does the wrap go? Be curious to see where the paint still comes though. And what the transition looks like.
