I have a clear-bra on my current car. The WHOLE front end - so the entire hood as well. Can't see any lines. This has protected the car against highway-induced chips for me since 2012.

From my understanding, a clear-bra will protect against highway-induced chips. A paint coating (like cquartz) won't. Paint coating 'hardens' the surface to help the paint resist shallow scratches and swirls.

Someone correct me please if this is wrong.

I'm planing to get a clear-bra over the whole front end again. And some type of paint coating over the whole car.
