clear bra on white car?

[parabmw]

is a clear bra recommending on white?
do most eventually turn yellow?
any brand that is better for discoloration?

also its difficult to see stone chips on white paint anyways

I have Xpel Ultimate on Mineral White. I've had it now for about 8 months and it isn't yellowing. If it did, it has a lifetime warranty or 10 year warranty (I forget which one it is). I am noticing that dirt does build up on the edges where the clear bra ends, so that does show up on white pretty easily.

I had a white Audi S4 and the Xpel on it yellowed after about 12-18 mos. It was replaced under warranty.

Personally, I will never put PPF on a white car again. If you do, try to keep it clean and sealed. Xpel has a cleaner and a sealer I used after the film was replaced and it seemed to work well.

Edit to add pictures I found that shows yellowing although it was even more noticeable in person (1/3 front end covered).

I had xpel on my Alpine White F80. In the 16 months I owned the car, zero issues yellowing. All I did was rinseless wash, with the occasional touchless wash during winter, and spray wax it.

I'd do it all over again on a white car. I would.

I did the Xpel Ultimate on my Alpine White F80 the week after I brought her home from PCD. Can't even tell it is on the car unless you look really lose. People are always shocked when I tell them it has it. Will be on car for one year in July.

I had xpel on my alpine white F10 5 series and never noticed any yellowing at all. The front bumper was actually black plastic underneath the paint so when I got rock chips it was super noticeable which is ultimately what led me to adding ppf to it.

I have a non-xpel brand of wrap and only when it's after the pollen does it yellow a bit. Meaning I have the front part of my car, pollen sticks to it better than the rest of the car so it's noticeable. After a wash, it's not noticeable.

On 2 previous AW BMWs, with non-xpel brand 1/4 hood wraps, it only became apparent after about 2-3 years that you could notice that there was "something" on the hood in some lighting

I've had Xpel on my AW M4 since new. Took delivery from the dealer and drove it to the shop same day. Been on the car for a year with no discoloration. Have everything covered except the roof and top of the trunk lid. I live where there is a lot of stones on the road so chips are an issue but the Xpel has done a great job protecting the paint. Expensive but would definitely do it again.

I've had CB on 2 of my cars. An CB E46M3 and a AW E90M3. After a few years, both started showing it's age either in terms of yellowing (E90) or just getting "dull" (E46). My F80 does not have it on, nor do I plan on putting it on.

Get SunTek PPF and you won't have issues.

I have a white car and we tested the suntek ppfc and suntek ultra

ultra is noticeably more clear and less "yellow". We have switched every car to suntek ultra now, so you get a 10 year warranty with glossier film that looks better!
