    Teflon is all marketing BS. For teflon to adhere and bond properly, it must be applied at a much higher temperature than be realistically performed by hand/machine. What the dealer uses is a teflon based was/sealant thats more than likely hand applied by a porter on the lot.

    The clear bra however is worth it if paint chips bother you that much. Unlike the black bra, its a much cleaner look that actually is a physical barrier between your paint and debris. Go for it.
