Defy the elements; defend your paint.

You recently purchased a new or used vehicle and want to protect your investment. Paint protection film keeps your vehicle looking newer longer by preventing wear and tear from rocks, bugs, sand, keys, salt and the elements. Paint protection film has UV protection and the film is virtually invisible, durable and easy to maintain and has self-healing technology to remove minor scratches or marks with heat applied to the film surface.

The products differ by warranty coverage, durability and self-healing technology.

The latest innovative paint protection film product is Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series Gloss and Matte which includes the self-healing technology to remove minor scratches or marks when heat is applied to the films surface. 3M also offers Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film and 3M™ VentureShield™ Paint Protection Film for strong performance and affordability.

Durability and peace of mind. High-quality films provide a durable finish that lasts as long as you own your vehicle. A product from 3M, a name you know and trust, paired with the most skilled installers and comprehensive warranty, will give you the confidence that you and your paint protection film will be backed by 3M.

Generally, a wear and tear package (side mirrors, door edges, door cups, trunk ledge) will take only a few hours. Full paint protection film installation takes about 2-3 days. However, we recommend contacting your local 3M authorised installer because depending on your type of vehicle, coverage options and availability, time to install paint protection film will vary. Upon submitting your information request, the installer will be able to inform you of the amount of time that your wrap will require.

To ensure the quality, appearance and durability of your paint protection film, it is important that a trained and experienced installer complete the installation for you. Our 3M authorised installers are here to answer any of your questions about possible coverage options, solutions, pricing and maintenance of your auto paint protection film and will do a high-quality install for you.

Caring for your 3M™ Paint Protection Film is easy. After film installation, wait one week before washing or waxing your vehicle to help ensure proper adhesion build of the film has been achieved. No special maintenance is required but if you would like to wax your vehicle, use waxes that do not contain dyes, abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds. 3M recommends 3M™ Performance Finish when waxing your car. After waxing your car, you can remove any wax build-up along film edges with a lint-free cloth.
