NanoPro® CLEARPRO is a hand-applied clear coat that goes straight over
faded and oxidised paint — no wet sanding, no booth, no days off the road. Released
only to certified elite NanoPro installers.

Before and after
Roofs, hoods and trunk lids go first in San Diego. Once clear coat fails,
polishing cannot bring it back — there is no clear left to polish. This adds it back.
Before — clear coat failed and peeling
After — NanoPro® CLEARPRO applied
Headlights are an oxidised clear layer too

What ClearPro fixes
NanoPro lists CLEARPRO as applicable to faded paint, headlights, carbon fibre
and piano black trim — and to boats, RVs and planes as well as cars.
Faded paint
Roof · hood · trunk
The three panels that take the whole 260+ days of sun and fail first.
Headlights
Clouded & yellowed
A clouded lens is an oxidised clear layer. Re-clear it rather than replace it.
Piano black trim
Interior & grille
Gloss black plastics that have gone dull, hazed or micro-scratched.
Carbon fibre
Clear over weave
Carbon that has lost its depth or started to cloud under UV.
No wet sanding — NanoPro’s own claim is that it restores damaged paint
without the two to three days of sanding and correction a repaint needs
No booth and no days off the road — it is hand-applied where the vehicle is
A fraction of a repaint — NanoPro describes it as saving the customer
thousands against a new paint job
Boats, RVs and planes as well as cars
Certified installers only — not sold to the public
Pairs with ceramic — finish with Borograph so the restored clear stays that way

What it costs
Prices shown are card prices. Pay by cash or check and the lower price
applies — shown in green beside every price on this page. No fee is ever added at checkout; the
price you see is the price you pay.
ClearPro is not priced from a list, because the two things that set the cost
— how many panels need re-clearing, and how far the existing clear has gone —
cannot be judged from a phone call.

The guys at Zippy Klean did a great job buffing the scratched up dull paint job on my old Prius and making it shine like new. Appreciate, the really professional, friendly and speedy service, which included dropping me by a coffee shop while I waited. Couldn't be happier with Steven's team. Thanks!

Excellent job on an old car and Grace was lovely. I would use them again and highly recommend them to anyone.
RRodaius GermanJune 2022
Above and beyond my expectations. My vehicle was in rough shape in the interior and they managed to restore to like new conditions like the day I bought it. Communicated effectively and very transparent. Will use again and highly recommend.

Ask about ClearPro
Photos of the affected panels in daylight are all we need to tell you whether
the clear is restorable and what it will cost. If a panel is too far gone we will say so
rather than take the job.
Can faded clear coat be restored without repainting the car?
Yes. NanoPro® CLEARPRO is a hand-applied clear coat that goes directly over faded and oxidised paint, restoring it without wet sanding and without a repaint.
A conventional repaint means stripping, prepping, spraying and curing in a booth, and the car is off the road for days. CLEARPRO is wiped on by hand over the existing finish, which is why NanoPro describes it as saving the customer thousands against a new paint job.
It is not a polish and it is not a coating. Polishing removes a layer of clear to level the damage, which only works while there is clear left to remove. CLEARPRO adds clear back.
What is NanoPro ClearPro?
CLEARPRO is a wipe-on, hand-applied clear coat from NanoPro®, released for professional use only by elite certified NanoPro installers.
It is the same restricted-distribution model as the rest of the NanoPro line — the product is not sold to the public, and installers have to be certified on it before they can buy it.
ClearPro can be applied to faded paint, headlights, carbon fibre and piano black trim, and NanoPro also lists it as applicable to boats, RVs and planes.
The headlight and piano-black cases are the ones people usually have not considered. Clouded headlights are an oxidised clear layer, and the gloss black trim on modern interiors and grilles fails the same way — both can be re-cleared rather than replaced.
How much does clear coat restoration cost in San Diego?
ClearPro is quoted after inspection rather than from a price list, because the cost depends on how many panels need re-clearing and how far the existing clear has gone.
A roof, hood and trunk lid — the three panels that fail first in San Diego sun — is a very different job from a whole vehicle, and a car with sound clear everywhere except the roof should not pay for a full re-clear.
Send photos through the form below and we will come back with a firm number. Most quotes take about five minutes.
How long does ClearPro last?
NanoPro does not publish a durability or warranty figure for CLEARPRO, so we do not quote one — we confirm what the manufacturer warrants before you book rather than guessing on your behalf.
What we do recommend is finishing a re-clear with Stealth Diamond Borograph ceramic on top. The restored clear is what you are protecting, and Borograph is permanent with 10+ year protection and a written warranty. Restoring the clear and then leaving it unprotected in 260+ days of San Diego sun is how it got there the first time.
When is clear coat too far gone to restore?
Clear coat is beyond restoring once it has failed through to the base coat or primer — if you can see dull, chalky colour or bare patches rather than peeling clear, that panel needs paint, not clear.
The usual tell is a roof or hood where the clear has started lifting in sheets and the paint underneath has gone flat and powdery. At that point there is nothing for a new clear layer to bond to.
We will tell you that at the inspection rather than take the job and hand back a result neither of us is happy with. If part of the car is restorable and part is not, we will say which.
