Windshield Skin® is the original windshield protection product developed that uses a clear, durable film applied to the exterior of the windshield. It is designed to absorb impacts from rocks, gravel, and other debris, helping to prevent chips and cracks. Windshield Skin® protection films are made from high-quality materials and are designed to meet the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines.

Bray Group International Inc. played a significant role in the development of windshield protection beginning in the year 2004, and presently holds right to the patent for windshield protection in the United States. Their product, Windshield Skin®, was acknowledged with the SEMA Global New Product of the Year award in 2007. Windshield Skin® has been widely adopted by notable entities such as Gillig, New Flyer, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Walmart Fleet, Pepsi Co. Fleet, and others.

Windshield Skin® protection films are made from highest-quality materials that are engineered to absorb impacts from rocks, gravel, and other debris. The film is applied to the exterior of the windshield, creating a strong barrier that helps to prevent chips and cracks from forming in your windshield.

The benefits of using Windshield Skin® protection include:

- Reduced need for costly windshield repairs or replacements
- Increased resale value of the vehicle

- Meet the USA NHTSA and the EU ECE R43 guidelines.

Windshield Skin® protection is designed to be as transparent as possible. While our Windshield Skin® Super Stretch line is a DIY product, improper installation can affect visibility. We recommend our Super Stretch line of material which is a top seller and the easiest to install, holding a 99% clarity level.

Note that for 100% clarity, we recommend our 1 Layer Peel-Away product line which requires professional installation. It is not a DIY product and requires specialized professional installation experience.

The lifespan of Windshield Skin® protection is influenced by various factors, such as the quality of the film or coating, exposure to environmental elements, and the frequency of windshield cleaning. Generally, all Bray windshield protection products have a life expectancy of 1 year minimum (see page 22 for more details). With proper care and maintenance, the material can last up to 5 years. It is noteworthy that the first year of the product's lifespan is backed by the manufacturer through our warranty system.

For those seeking the longest-lasting material, we recommend exploring our 1 Layer, 2 Layer, or 3 Layer Peel-Away product line. However, it's important to emphasize that professional installation is required for this product line. Please be aware that this product is not intended for do-it-yourself (DIY) installation.

Windshield Skin® products, when correctly installed on a previously approved windshield, successfully meet the standards outlined in ANSI SAE Z26.1-1996 for standard glazing materials. Furthermore, Bray Windshield Skin material has undergone independent testing and has successfully passed all required ECE R43 tests for the EU. It meets all NHTSA guidelines.

We recommend all Kits to be cut about 1/8" - 1/4" off the edge of the glass to prevent lifting and avoid accidentally cutting the rubber gasket.

Modern windshields often incorporate sensors and cameras for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). During windshield replacement, precise calibration or recalibration of these sensors is vital to ensure accurate functionality. Since Windshield Skin is applied to the exterior of the windshield, it does not interfere with the sensors' operation or require recalibration. This innovative solution allows you to protect your factory-installed windshield while preserving the integrity of the ADAS technology.

The cost of Windshield Skin® protection varies depending on the material you choose to use. However, this cost can be significantly less than the cost and risk of repairing or replacing a damaged windshield, especially with the technology advancements we see in windshields today. As a dealer, we recommend charging an installation fee of $150 - $200 for labor (ie. charge the customer around $500 for a Windshield Skin®).

Yes, Windshield Skin® Super Stretch protection is a new Windshield Skin® product designed to be easy to install. Professional installation is recommended for Windshield Skin® Peel-Away products, but many people choose to install Windshield Skin® Super Stretch DIY material themselves using our kit that includes all the necessary materials and instructions.

As seen in the installation instruction sheet and in installation videos, we recommend the following ingredients in a 32oz spray bottle:

• 2 tsp (10ml) of Johnson & Johnson baby wash (J&J baby shampoo is an acceptable
alternative)

• Lukewarm water to the top of the spray bottle (distilled water is best for
maximum clarity)

*Note that slip solution may vary based on temperature and humidity in your location.

Yes, Windshield Skin® protection can be removed and is typically a very simple process. It is recommended that you remove the coating when any visible impairments are present and reapply a new Windshield Skin® to avoid future damages to the windshield.

Yes, Windshield Skin® protection can be applied to all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs, semi truck, RV, bus transit, motorsports, heavy equipment, side glass and rear glass.

As continual improvements are made to the material, we found that turning on your vehicles defroster for 10 minutes can help remove moisture pockets in severe cold weather climates. If you feel the film is impairing your vision at any point in time, it is recommended to remove it from the vehicle. Please note that Windshield Skin® can requires up to a minimum of 72 hours for full dry time, depending on climate. As a general rule, the longer the cure time, the better.

The haze-like appearance that you may be experiencing typically occurs when the material is over stretched while installing. Yes, Windshield Skin® protection has stretchable properties but has its limitations to how much it can be stretched. As stated above, Windshield Skin® protection is designed to be as transparent as possible. While our Windshield Skin® Super Stretch line is a DIY product, improper installation can affect visibility. We recommend our Super Stretch line of material which is a top seller and the easiest to install, holding a 99% clarity level. Note that for 100% clarity, we recommend our 1 Layer Peel-Away product line which requires professional installation. It is not a DIY product and requires specialized experience.

We always recommend using medical tape and/or small PPF strips to secure the roll tightly. Store the roll with the provided end caps back into its box horizontally.

Using the wrong tape can leave an impression and/or pinch the material. Storing the material vertically allows it to loosen on itself.

This is oftentimes caused by not overlapping your strokes during install and/or not squeegeeing over the entire Windshield Skin® at least twice. The second pass through is crucial to ensure all moisture is pulled out of the glass. If you notice a moisture "streak" instead of bubble, those should dry out within 48-72 hours if the vehicle is left in the sun to dry.

There are many reasons for wipers sticking or chattering. Outside of film installation, wipers can stick or chatter when blades need to be replaced. However, Bray Group is introducing maintenance wipes that can cure this problem by cleaning as well as lubricating the film and allowing wiper movement to occur with less friction. These maintenance wipes are also essential to prolonging product longevity.

Windshield Skin® protection provides an extra layer of protection to reduce the impact that could have been more severe. There are various reasons why a windshield could get damaged such as maintenance, drive speed, age of material, and more. While we acknowledge the inconvenience, please bear in mind that this is a disposable protective material which has its limitations.
