Rocks, bugs, sand, keys, salt — the elements can damage your paint. Protect it with a clear paint protection film from 3M. 3M™ Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series delivers superior protection to automotive surfaces against scratches, chips and weathering. Our Pro Series film features a self-healing formula that enables minor scratches to disappear by themselves. 3M clear coat technology provides exceptional stain, weather and abrasion resistance, helping to preserve the car’s showroom quality finish for years.
Our Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series offers the highest level of scratch and stain resistance, clarity and durability of any of our 3M Paint Protection Films (PPF).
Paint protection film — also known as a clear bra — is designed to protect your vehicle against the elements without changing the design features or color, and is virtually invisible from the original finish.
3M warrants that applied 3M™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series will be free of defects in materials and manufacture — including yellowing, bubbling or cracking — for ten (10) years from date of purchase. Please see product brochure for complete details.
Paint protection film will be applied all over your car to keep the paint looking new and fresh for longer. Since the industry has evolved to make paint protection better and better over the years, it no longer turns yellow quickly after application. If applied properly, it won’t make the car look dull and you shouldn’t be able to see the film in your car.
It’s applied with heat, so it can cover swirls and scratches to leave your paint glossy and shiny for a long time. It’s not completely bulletproof proof though, much like any film or protection you might put on your car.
The protection paint will absorb impact and preserve the paint from rock chips. Remember your car can still be punctured though although the paint will take the blunt force of the impact from whatever might hit your car. The damage to the car will be much lower than if your car didn’t have it
This really depends on your car and how much money and effort you want to put into protecting it. If you want your car to have minimal damage and be able to sell it later in life for a good value, you will need to keep the car in pristine condition.
This includes putting a paint protection film on it. The film will prevent rock chips, pitting, scrapes, and scratches. This will preserve the value of your car. When you go to sell your car, it might even score in the excellent category on the KBB scale. This means your resale value will be 10-15% higher than if it was in the very good or good category.
Here are some things to ask yourself when considering spending the money on paint protection film:
Some people prefer to go with the cheaper ceramic coating if they aren’t obsessed with their car or they don’t care about the resell value.
You really can’t go wrong with paint protection film though. When driving on the highway or other busy roads, you won’t have to worry about small things flying and hitting your car because the film will absorb the shock from the items.
If you love your car and want it to stay in near perfect condition for as long as possible, you should get paint film protection.
