Can I install a 3M VentureShield clear bra film myself?
The materials for a clear bra package are expensive and you could damage the film when applying it yourself. Professional installers have the best experience and skill required to apply the film around complex curves, headlights, grills, bumpers and all other areas on today's vehicles.

Will a 3M VentureShield clear bra film damage the paint if the film is removed?
If the film is properly applied to a fully cured painted vehicle, it can be removed without damaging paint surfaces beneath the film. If a clear bra is installed on a repainted, older or not properly cured paint there is a risk of the paint being damage when removed.

Can 3M VentureShield clear bra film be installed over a vehicle that has had the paint touched up?
Any repainted surfaces on your vehicle will need to be fully cured before applying 3M VentureShield paint protection film. If a clear bra film is removed, it is possible that the area around the touch-up paint could peel off. The film will protect the area until the film is removed.

Will the paint smear if 3M VentureShield clear bra film is applied over a newly painted vehicle?
The paint on a newly painted vehicle must be cured or baked according to manufacturer's recommendations. Your body shop should be able to provide you with this information.

Can I cover the whole vehicle with 3M VentureShield clear bra film?
Yes. Call for details.

Can 3M VentureShield clear bra film be applied over graphics?
Yes, clear bra films can be applied over vinyl graphics however, if the film is removed, damage may occur to the underlying graphic during the removal process.

Does 3M VentureShield clear bra film stick to plastic?
Yes - but only to smooth surfaces.

Does 3M VentureShield clear bra film resist yellowing?
Yellowing can occur due to UV rays affecting the material or by little dust particles getting stuck in the porous clear bra material. You can lessen the chances of your clear bra film and headlight overlays from yellowing by waxing the material whenever you wax your vehicle.

Can I use wax over 3M VentureShield clear bra film?
Yes. When waxing the vehicle, some wax may build up along the film edges. This can easily be removed when dry with a soft brush such as a toothbrush or detailer brush.
• Do not use any waxes containing dyes or waxes that are not recommended for urethanes.
• Abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds are not to be used.
• One way to minimize the wax buildup is to use spray wax around the film edges.

How is a clear bra or headlight overlay film maintained?
Once applied, refrain from washing the vehicle in an automated car wash for 48 hours. We suggest you keep the vehicle in the sun to help cure and dry the protective film. Washing after that time presents no problem, but be careful if using a pressure washer along leading edges of film.

Can 3M VentureShield clear bra or headlight overlay film be removed?
Yes. For removal of the film, simply heat the surface to approximately 150°F and begin by working a corner of the film with your fingernail. If any adhesive remains, simply use any adhesive cleaner or 3M™ General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (3M Part #08984) and wipe clean with a soft cloth. If any sections are known to have been repainted, extreme caution should be taken on those areas during removal as there is a slight risk of the paint being lifted.

Will 3M VentureShield clear bra film really stop rocks from chipping the car?
Yes.

How long should I wait to apply your product if my car has been repainted?
You will need to talk to your body shop and see what they recommend. The time that they say you should wait to wax the paint, is the same time you will need to wait to install clear bra film.

How long does it take to install a full kit?
Usually no longer than half a day.

I don’t like to see the line on the hood, can you cover the entire hood?
Yes, covering the whole hood is possible.

I have an aftermarket bumper, can a clear bra be applied over it?
Yes.

Is the application of the film permanent?
No, the film can be removed at anytime.

What is 3M VentureShield? 3M VentureShield is the toughest chip protection film on the market. Combining excellent elastic properties and optical clarity with a high shear and tack adhesive, 3M VentureShield is twice as stone resistant as the leading competitor.

Will it diminish the appearance of my car? 3M VentureShield will protect your car for years and remain virtually invisible.

Can VentureShield be washed and waxed? Yes, you may wash and wax your vehicle as if 3M VentureShield were not present.

Will my car fade under the sun? Yes. 3M VentureShield film is UV stable, but will allow UV rays to penetrate. This feature eliminates the "two shades" of paint problem resulting from traditional car "bras."

If I sell my car, can 3M VentureShield be removed? Yes. 3M VentureShield uses a patented acrylic adhesive which can be safely removed without residue, leaving your car looking as great today as the day you bought it!

A new "07 Chevrolet Suburban with a clear bra installed on the hood, fenders, mirrors and headlights. Midwest Clear Bra of MN would recommend installing the bumper as well. This SUV has a large amount of painted area that is very susceptible to rock chips and other road debris causing paint chips and damage.

Chris, you have really made my SUV look new again. You said your state of the art touch up would make my black BMW X5 look new and you were right. After adding the Ventureshield Clear Bra I know it will look new for years to come. The fact that you guarantee it for life against fading and peeling makes it a no lose situation for me. Thank you and I will send all my friends in to see you!

While I was on vacation, my husband surprised me by having Midwest Clear Bra install a 3M VentureShield clear bra on my Chevy Tahoe hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors and headlights. How cool is that!. It looks invisible and I will never have to worry about paint chipping again. Thank you to Chris at Midwest Clear Bra for a perfect job on my Chevy Tahoe SUV.
