Clear E65 Prime is an entry-level gloss clear paint protection film built on aliphatic TPU (Lubrizol ESTANE) with a hydrophilic top coat that sheets water off cleanly and reduces spotting. At 312 microns total with a 167 micron application layer, it gives solid PPF-grade defense against stone chips, scratches, and splatter at an accessible price. The self-healing surface reflows light scratches with heat, and in accelerated weathering equivalent to nine years the TPU held its appearance and performance. A practical first PPF for budget-conscious owners and partial-coverage installs on hoods, fenders, and mirrors.

How TeckWrap compares
Cheap film won't last a season. Legacy brands charge a brand premium. TeckWrap sits in the middle: professional-grade film at an honest price.
The cheap way
Saves money up front, then bubbles, fades and cracks within a season.
What it costs
✕Cheapest to buy, and you pay again when it ambers.
Film chemistry
✕TPH or PVC. Ambers under UV and never recovers.
Thickness
✕6 mil or less, and usually not stated anywhere.
Self healing
✕None, or a claim that stops working after one season.
Yellowing and clarity
✕Visible ambering on the hood, usually inside two summers.
Hydrophobic performance
✕No functional top coat. Water sheets and dries with spots.
Warranty and removal
✕No warranty. Removal needs solvent and risks the clear coat.
Professional-grade film at an honest price. Reversible, paint-safe, and color-shifting.
What it costs
$799 a roll, 245 square feet. That is $3.26 a foot.
Film chemistry
Aliphatic TPU on a Lubrizol ESTANE base. It does not amber.
Thickness
8.4 mil application layer on G85 Premium. 339 microns total.
Self healing
TORAY top coat. Swirls and light scratches close with heat.
Yellowing and clarity
Color shift of 0.2 delta E after 500 hours SGS tested
Hydrophobic performance
TORAY Lotus Effect beading, or hydrophilic sheeting. Your choice.
Warranty and removal
Warranty backed, heat removable and paint safe, minimal residue.
See the finish in person before you commit.
The legacy way

Thickness
–8 mil standard, with thicker track options at a premium.
Self healing
Self healing with a published recovery temperature.
Yellowing and clarity
