Madico: The Ultimate Protection for Our Overland Adventures
When it comes to overlanding, our vehicles take a serious beating—rock chips, harsh sun, tight trails, and unpredictable terrain. Protecting our Bronco Raptor was a top priority, and after extensive research, we chose Madico for its ClearPlex windshield protection, BlackPearl window tint, and Protekt HD PPF. After two years of off-road abuse, here’s why we continue to trust Madico to safeguard our rig.
ClearPlex: Windshield Armor for the Trails
Within the first week of owning our Bronco Raptor, we took a rock chip straight to the windshield on the freeway. With its nearly 90-degree windshield, we knew we needed a better solution—enter Madico ClearPlex.
After two years of off-road abuse, our windshield has been hammered with rocks from both the trail and high-speed desert runs. The result? No cracks. We recently replaced the ClearPlex film to check for any damage underneath, and the windshield itself was still in perfect shape. That alone speaks volumes about the protection it offers.
For anyone running a truck or SUV on dirt roads, rock-laden trails, or even long freeway commutes, windshield protection is a must—and ClearPlex has proven itself time and time again.
BlackPearl Window Tint: Cool, Clear & Secure
Overlanding often means long drives through intense sun and heat, whether we’re heading out for a multi-day trip or filming in remote locations. The Madico BlackPearl window tint (20% on all windows, 50% on the front windshield) has made a huge difference in keeping the cabin comfortable.
- UV & Thermal Protection: We’ve noticed a significant reduction in cabin heat, which makes those long, sun-drenched media trips much more bearable.
- Clear Visibility: Unlike some tints that add haze or distortion, BlackPearl has remained crystal clear, which is critical when driving off-road in varying light conditions.
- Added Security: A bonus we didn’t expect? The tint makes it harder for people to see inside, keeping our camera gear and personal items more secure.
Protekt HD PPF: Trail-Proven Defense
Our Bronco Raptor sees a lot of tight trails, brush-filled paths, and rocky terrain. Instead of worrying about scratches, we had Protekt HD PPF installed by Daley Visual, and it has exceeded our expectations.
- Self-Healing: The film has healed itself after taking branches and rock impacts—just park in the sun, and the minor marks disappear.
- Mud & Stain Resistance: We’ve tackled Utah’s infamous red clay mud, and unlike some other PPF brands, we haven’t experienced any staining.
- Impact Protection: From rock dings to general wear and tear, the PPF continues to hold up, keeping our Bronco looking clean despite the abuse.
Why We Chose Madico
We’ve run other brands in the past, but Madico won us over for a few key reasons:
✅ Made in the USA – Quality control and reliability matter.
✅ Proven Performance – Two years of off-road punishment, and the protection still holds up.
✅ Trusted by Professionals – Our PPF install was handled by Daley Visual, and we worked with a local professional installer for the tint and ClearPlex.
If you’re serious about protecting your windshield, windows, and paint from the rigors of off-road travel, Madico is a solid investment. We can confidently say it has saved us thousands in potential damage repairs and kept our Bronco Raptor looking fresh despite the abuse.
