Clear PPF with a clear finish is applied to a white 2010 to 2013 Lexus GX 460 hood.
Dry Application Testing
The video shows research and development work on a dry-install clear paint protection film. In the demonstration, an installer squeegees the film onto the white hood without any liquid underneath. The project targets an install process that uses zero water and leaves zero bubbles. The team explains that while they have not fully cracked the code yet, testing is actively underway to refine the product.
Simplifying DIY Installation
Traditional clear films depend on wet installation methods. Installers normally have to balance slip solutions and tack solutions to slide the film into place and anchor the edges. This dry-install film is designed to remove that barrier. When the product is ready for the market, car owners will have the opportunity to protect their vehicles at home completely dry without mixing water solutions.
Aura Vinyl develops Clear PPF alongside its colored wraps and Hyper PPF lines. For installers looking to build their skills, Aura Vinyl also provides tools, installer support on Discord, and instructional videos through YouTube and Wrap Academy.
FAQ
What is dry-install clear PPF?
Dry-install clear PPF is an experimental paint protection film designed to be applied without water or slip mixtures. The development goal is to allow installation with zero water and zero bubbles.
Why develop a dry clear PPF?
Standard clear film requires mixing specific slip and tack water solutions to install properly. A dry-install option allows car owners to install protective film at home without needing those liquid mixtures.
