UW, which makes aftermarket touch up paint really hard to match.

But anyone who doesn't have a clear bra, I would get XPEL, it looks a lot better.

Having owned a 2014 for about 18 months (without PPF) and now awaiting my new 2015, I plan to apply clear bra selectively on the front bumper. I am going for the bottom inch or two where most of my rock chips were, plus the big vertical surface going into the "air ducts" on the lower portion. I think this will help the worst areas and hide the lines of the PPF.



What is a Magent?
I read around the forum, a new painted bumper from Lexus is 600. I wouldn't use a clear bra under my bumper but instead buy white plasti dip and just do mutli layers of it at the bottom. Cheap and easy to apply.
