    ClearPlex... the best protection you'll never see!

    I track a lot and this works great against things that will trash all windshields... I also use a clear bra to cover all of the front smooth surfaces including lights and mirror fronts.

    ClearPlex... the best protection you'll never see

    Driving on today's highways can be a hazardous business - especially for your vehicle's windshield. Introducing ClearPlex, the first and only optically clear protection film designed for automotive windshields. This patent-pending product absorbs the impact of standard road hazards - significantly reducing the occurrences of rock chips, "stars", pitting and "bull's-eyes". ClearPlex is a whole new vision in windshield protection. The film is guaranteed not to peel, bubble, crack or yellow - providing virtual invisibility for the warranted life of the film.

    At 60 mph, the un-treated glass on the right doesn’t stand a chance. On the left, the same glass was treated with ClearPlex Windshield Protection Film. The impact left only a few Dimples on the film, but did not harm the Glass.
    Impact and Scratch Resistant

    ClearPlex is designed to take what the road dishes out. Impacts which shatter unprotected glass leave only a minimal pin-point on the film, preserving its optical clarity. ClearPlex is scratch resistant and stands up to everyday abrasions, including windshield wipers.
