Clear bra is the old-school name for paint protection film (PPF) — a clear, tough urethane film we lay over your paint so rock chips, gravel, and scratches hit the film instead of the finish underneath. Same product, older name: at Obsidian Auto Calgary we use "clear bra," "PPF," and "paint protection film" to mean the exact same thing. We cut every panel from a digital pattern for your specific make and model, so no blade ever comes near your paint, and we wrap the film around the edges so there's no line to spot. Every install is backed by a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, and peeling, plus our own lifetime workmanship guarantee.

What Makes The Difference
Impact Resistance
8-mil urethane clear bra takes the hit from highway gravel, absorbing chips that would otherwise crater your paint.
Self-Healing
Light scratches and swirl marks flow back out with a little heat — sun or warm water — so the car keeps looking freshly detailed.
Computer-Cut Patterns
Every panel is plotted from a digital pattern for your exact car and cut on a plotter, so nothing sharp ever touches your paint.
Invisible Finish
Premium clear bra is optically clear with no orange peel, so your paint's gloss and colour read straight through it.
How Much Clear Bra Do You Need?
From leading-edge coverage to a full-body wrap. Every package is cut from a digital pattern, wrapped at the edges, and backed by our 10-year warranty.

Why Calgary Drivers Need Clear Bra
Calgary is one of the biggest PPF markets in North America, and it's no mystery why — the roads here are genuinely rough on paint. Gravel and winter sand off Deerfoot Trail, fresh rock kicked up on Stoney, chips on the run to Red Deer, road salt eating at everything. Clear bra takes those hits so your paint doesn't.
Deerfoot Trail Gravel
High-speed debris from trucks and winter sanding
Stoney Trail Rocks
New construction zones throw stones constantly
Highway 2 to Red Deer
Rural roads with endless rock chip hazards
Winter Road Salt
Salt and sand accelerate paint damage and corrosion
Cost of No Protection
- Single Rock Chip Repair$300 - $800
- Panel Repaint (Door/Fender)$1,500+
- Full Front Respray$3,000 - $5,000
- Resale Value Loss$2,000 - $4,000
- Full Front Clear BraFrom $1,499
One deep chip on Deerfoot can cost more than the film. A full front clear bra usually pays for itself within a couple of years of Calgary highway driving.

Tesla ProtectionClear Bra Reviews
"Mustafa and his team PPF'ed, Ceramic Coated and detailed my 1992 Toyota Supra, and the car now looks stunning. He kept me informed of the job progress, corrected areas that had been poorly done by others and the results could not have been better."
Jan

"These guys are professional, respectful and honest. I needed my paint protection film replaced because it was peeling on me, I gave them a call and they were able to get me in the next day. Mo took a look at my car and recommended that there was no need to remove all the paint protection film and just replace the bumper because all the other parts was perfectly fine."

"I did my paint protection film here as well they did a complementary check on the ppf that was previously done and gave me a great deal on protecting my headlights. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to get their car cleaned or protected."

Clear Bra Questions
Everything you need to know about clear bra installation in Calgary.
Volume Shops vs. Boutique Studio
Most shops are built for volume — get the car in, get it out, on to the next one. We're built the other way. Here's exactly what that difference gets you.
Typical "Volume" Shop
Visible Seams
Standard kits stop 1/8" from the edge. This line collects dirt and wax, creating an ugly outline.
Cutting on Paint
Hand-cutting film directly on your car risks razor marks in your clear coat.
Rushed "Same Day" Install
Film driven wet leads to lifting edges and water bubbles. 4-hour turnaround is a red flag.
Cuts Around Badges
Leaves an unsightly ring of exposed paint around emblems.
Obsidian Auto
Wrapped Edges
We modify patterns to wrap film around the panel edge — no film line to catch dirt, nothing to spot.
Precision Plotting
All kits are computer-cut before touching your car. Zero risk of knife damage.
Multi-Day Curing
We keep your car indoors overnight to ensure edges are heat-sealed and bond is permanent.
Badge Removal & Reinstall
We remove emblems to install film underneath, then reinstall them to factory spec.
The Perfect Pairing.
PPF takes the rock chips and gravel. Ceramic coating handles water, road salt, and UV. Run them together and your paint's covered from both sides.
