Peelclear vs. traditional PPF, explained.
This 2:19 video shows the spray process, the adhesive-backed film comparison, material build, finish, and how each system is removed. Watch it before choosing a protection path for your new vehicle.

Read the video transcript
This 2:19 explainer covers how Peelclear is spray-applied in a controlled booth, how it compares to adhesive-backed film, the 8–12 mil material build, available gloss/matte/satin finishes, and how each system can be removed. Peelclear's current website describes its technology as patent pending.
One of the region's few options.
Checked August 10, 2026: Peelclear's public locator showed one listed installer across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, with none listed in Riverside County. CDA does not claim to be the Inland Empire's only installer.

Protect the paint before the first freeway chip.
A new vehicle does not need a one-size-fits-all package. It needs a documented starting point, honest material choices, careful preparation, and a team that can explain the tradeoffs before the vehicle is taken apart.
Two real protection choices
CDA can explain traditional adhesive-backed PPF and Peelclear side by side, then match the material to your finish, coverage, and ownership goals.
Controlled installation
Paint preparation, masking, material build, finish work, curing, and final inspection are handled as one controlled process—not rushed between unrelated jobs.
Riverside and Upland support
New-car owners can start with CDA in Riverside or Upland and receive one written scope, one point of contact, and clear aftercare guidance.
Reversible by design
A protective layer that looks like paint.
Meet Peelclear
Sprayed on. Built up. Peeled off later.
Peelclear is a waterborne protective system applied with professional spray equipment in a controlled booth. Its base and topcoat cure together into a flexible, removable layer over the approved exterior surfaces.
Because it is sprayed instead of laid down as adhesive-backed sheets, it follows complex shapes without traditional film seams across the protected panels. The cured surface can be corrected, polished, and maintained as directed for the selected finish.

Choose the right protection—not the trend
Peelclear vs. traditional PPF
CDA installs traditional film because it remains an excellent solution. Peelclear adds a different path for owners who prioritize seamless full-exterior coverage and a true paint-like finish.

The CDA 30-hour workflow
Fast does not mean careless.
The fast target comes from a planned, controlled workflow. Eligibility is confirmed before the job is scheduled so preparation, application, cure, finish work, and delivery QA are treated as one continuous process.
About 30 hours
Target for eligible clear full-exterior jobs
- 01
Inspect and write the scope
We review the vehicle in person, confirm paint condition, finish, coverage, disassembly limits, and the handoff target.
- 02
Decontaminate and prepare
The exterior is cleaned, decontaminated, corrected where approved, and prepared so the protection is built over a properly finished surface.
- 03
Mask and spray
Covered areas are masked and Peelclear is spray-applied in a controlled environment to the approved clear finish and material build.
- 04
Cure and finish
The system cures into a flexible protective layer. The surface is then inspected and refined for a consistent paint-like appearance.
- 05
Final QA and handoff
CDA completes the delivery inspection, reviews aftercare, and documents the completed scope before the vehicle leaves the studio.

Peelclear questions
Is Peelclear the same thing as traditional paint protection film?
It serves a similar paint-protection purpose, but the installation method is different. Traditional PPF is an adhesive-backed urethane film. Peelclear is sprayed in a professional booth and cures into a removable protective layer without adhesive-backed panel seams.
How thick is Peelclear?
Peelclear is designed to build to approximately 8–12 mil. CDA confirms the selected system, target build, coverage, and finish in the written scope for your vehicle.
Does it prevent every rock chip?
No protection system can guarantee that every direct impact will be stopped. Peelclear is designed to absorb minor impacts and abrasion and to reduce chipping and marring compared with unprotected paint.
Can I choose gloss, matte, or satin?
Yes. Peelclear offers clear gloss, matte, and satin finish paths. CDA will review how each finish changes or preserves the appearance of your factory paint before the job is approved.
Is the 30-hour turnaround guaranteed for every vehicle?
Thirty hours is CDA’s target turnaround for eligible clear full-exterior jobs after inspection and scheduling. Paint correction, damage, custom disassembly, finish choice, cure conditions, or added services can change the timeline. Your written estimate will state the expected handoff window.
Where is the service available?
CDA serves new-car owners through its Riverside headquarters and Upland studio. Call or request a quote so the team can confirm the correct intake location for your vehicle and selected scope.
How common is Peelclear in the Inland Empire?
Checked August 10, 2026: Peelclear's public locator showed one listed installer across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, with none listed in Riverside County. CDA does not claim to be the Inland Empire's only installer. You can check the current Peelclear locator at peelclear.com/find-an-installer/ for the latest list.
