Windshield Protection Film

ClearPlex NC

Protect the glass. Reject the heat. ClearPlex NC puts the exterior windshield protection of ClearPlex and nano-ceramic solar control in one 4-mil film, so a single install covers rock chips and cabin heat.

One film. Two kinds of protection.

A windshield takes the hits from the road and lets most of the sun's energy into the cabin. ClearPlex NC handles both. The film is applied to the outside of the glass, where the rock chips happen, and its nano-ceramic layer rejects 90% of infrared energy before it reaches the interior.

For your shop, that turns a windshield protection job into a windshield protection and heat rejection job, with one piece of film and one install.

Why ClearPlex NC

All the benefits of ClearPlex, plus

ClearPlex NC keeps what dealers sell ClearPlex on today: impact resistance, the patented scratch-resistant coating, optical clarity and long film life. These are the additions.

Physical and heat protection in one package

Customers who ask for windshield protection and customers who ask for heat rejection are usually two different tickets. ClearPlex NC is one.

  • Exterior impact protection against rocks and road debris
  • Nano-ceramic solar control with 45% total solar energy rejection
  • One film, one install, one conversation at the counter

90% infrared rejection from the outside of the glass

ClearPlex NC rejects 90% of infrared energy without putting any film inside the cabin.

  • 90% IR rejection
  • 45% total solar energy rejection
  • Exterior-applied, so the heat is turned back before it reaches the glass

No slip solution near the dash

Interior windshield tint means spraying solution a few inches from the instrument cluster, the infotainment screen and the wiring behind them. ClearPlex NC goes on outside the glass, so that risk leaves the job along with the work under the dash.

  • No solution in the cabin
  • No taping off electronics or pulling the dash cover
  • Less time inverted under a windshield

The easiest ClearPlex to install

ClearPlex NC shrinks like window tint, wet or dry. If your installers already do tint, they already know how to lay this film.

  • Wet or dry shrink
  • Handles like automotive tint
  • Available up to 72" wide for Teslas, Sprinter vans, RVs and emergency vehicles

Sunroof protection

Panoramic glass roofs take debris strikes and carry the highest sun load on the vehicle. ClearPlex NC covers both the same way it does on a windshield.

  • Exterior protection against chips and cracks on glass roofs
  • Heat rejection where the sun load is highest
  • Same film, same install method

The ClearPlex Standard

Everything ClearPlex is known for is still in the film

ClearPlex NC

Product Overview

ClearPlex NC is the nano-ceramic version of ClearPlex, Madico's exterior-applied windshield protection film. It keeps the 4-mil PET construction and patented scratch-resistant coating ClearPlex is known for and adds a nano-ceramic layer that rejects 90% of infrared energy and 45% of total solar energy.

For dealers, that changes what a windshield protection install is worth. The same piece of film now answers two customer requests: keep the glass from chipping, and keep the cabin cooler. It is applied to the outside of the windshield, so there is no slip solution near the dash electronics and no interior film to work around the cluster.

ClearPlex NC shrinks wet or dry and handles like automotive tint. It is available in widths up to 72 inches for Teslas, Sprinter vans, RVs and emergency vehicles. On ADAS-equipped windshields, follow the ClearPlex NC Installation Guidelines.
