Does Clear Defend really protect against scratches and everyday wear and tear?

The Simple Answer is: YES.

Here is an example of how the protective foil shielded a Volvo truck from scratches. 

Imagine if the foil hadn’t been there—all those scratches would have ended up directly on the paint.

Now, the driver can easily peel the foil off, and the truck is as good as new underneath. 

How long does the foil last? 

That depends on how hard you wear it down, but we have met customers who have kept the same foil for over five years in a row.

What Is Clear Defend Pre-Cut Protective Foil?

Clear Defend is a high-quality, transparent paint protection film (PPF) that acts as a sacrificial layer over your truck’s original coating.

Unlike universal rolls of film that require trimming on the vehicle, Clear Defend comes pre-cut for specific truck models and areas, ensuring:

• Precise fit

• Faster installation

• Clean edges

• Professional-looking results

The foil absorbs scratches, chips, and surface damage — keeping your original paint untouched underneath.

How Clear Defend Effectively Protects Your Truck’s Coating

1️⃣ Shields Against Scratches and Stone Chips

Highways and construction zones throw debris at your paint every day. Clear Defend absorbs the impact before it reaches the coating.

2️⃣ Prevents Everyday Wear and Tear

Door edges, loading areas, and step zones are high-contact spots. Protective foil keeps these vulnerable areas looking new.

3️⃣ UV and Weather Protection

Sun exposure fades paint over time. The protective layer helps preserve color and gloss.

4️⃣ Maintains Resale Value

When it’s time to sell or return a leased truck, simply remove the foil. Underneath, the paint looks significantly fresher — often like new.

Easy Application – No Complicated Process

One of the biggest advantages of Clear Defend is simplicity.

Because it’s pre-cut:

• No measuring or trimming required

• Minimal installation time

• No special bodywork tools needed

• Cleaner results compared to universal films

This makes it ideal for:

• Fleet managers

• Truck owners

• Dealerships

• Chauffeurs

• Leasing companies

Protection doesn’t have to mean downtime.

What Happens When You Remove It?

Here’s where it really stands out.

When the protective foil has done its job, it can simply be peeled off. The scratches and wear stay on the film — not on your truck.

Underneath?
A well-preserved, glossy original coating.

No repainting.
No expensive corrections.
No stress.

Why Pre-Cut Protective Foil Is Smarter Than Repainting

Repainting damaged panels can be:

• Expensive

• Time-consuming

• Difficult to color-match perfectly

Clear Defend prevents the damage in the first place — which is always more cost-effective than repairing it later.

Prevention beats repair every time.

Who Should Use Clear Defend?

Clear Defend is ideal for:

• New truck owners who want long-term protection

• Commercial fleets that need consistent appearance

• Lease vehicles that must be returned in good condition

• Anyone who values maintaining their truck’s coating

If you care about your truck’s appearance and resale value, protective foil is a smart investment.
