3M Scotchgard Clear Paint Protection Bulk Film Roll 12-by-72-inches

As for being an economy priced clear bra material, it does the job, I do window tint and clear bra installation at a shop so my vehicle is a guinea pig for these kind of DIY products here on amazon. The adhesion is great, installation would be difficult for most people who aren’t all that experienced, but overall for $35 of material to cover my hood and the tips it’s perfect! The material has some give, but it’s relatively thinner that most clear bra I’ve used. Looks smooth and slick as well! Definitely a must for you paint protection needs!!

Worked great easygoing on.

*DISCLAIMER* I am brand new at installing PPF.I used this PPF to wrap the front end edge of my hood and part of my front bumper. The adhesion is good, but it is definitely a bit tricky to work with. I had trouble stretching the film around contours in the bumper, and I think there is a reason that most of the install Youtube videos feature installation on flat surfaces. There are some residual bubbles under the film that I am hoping work out over the next few weeks.Value for the money is good, but if you're new like my you will probably waste a roll or two. I chalk that up to being the cost of learning a new skill.I liked the XPEL film that I used on the back of the car more. It had a better finish overall, but the XPEL film from Amazon only comes in 6" widths.

This ppf was probably the hardest application I've probably done in a while it definitely wasn't the easiest to apply but with some patience I got it done. I had to use some slip solution plus my heat gun. So my advice to anyone trying it themselves make sure you have the patience and the tools to get the job done overall it's pretty good quality ppf.

I use this film on all my cars where I want good protection. It's good for high traffic areas on the car or to protect nice paint on older cars. The key to making it fit right is patience and planning! The film isn't perfect, it will look shiny, but sort of like orange peel surface. It is also not perfectly clear, it has the slightest yellow tint to it. Only really noticeable on a super white car. Overall I really like the film, kinda pricey for the large sheets though would be my only complaint.I used this particular film to do my 1992 Miata front bumper. It's full of curves and very difficult to wrap. If you've got a very difficult surface plan ahead before peeling the paper off, winging it isn't going to work. What I have found that works best is to unroll the film, tape it to the car with masking tape, then plan how to cut it. I had to cut the film in three pieces to fit the bumper. Make sure you have plenty of overhang around the edges. Pick only one edge of the panel you want to follow. Plan to hide your mistakes behind lenses or fog lamps so you don't require a perfect fit. It'll never be perfect, you'll just get better at hiding your sins.Once you're happy with the layout, spray some soapy water on a large flat prep surface (like your hood). Flip the material over so film side is touching the prep surface, begin peeling the backing off while spraying soapy water on the adhesive side of the film. After the backing paper is removed liberally apply soapy water to the surface that will get the film. Remove the film from the prep surface and carefully flip so the adhesive side is now touching the surface. Spray soapy water on the film and work from the center outwards with a squeegee. The soapy water helps to move the film on the surface and will lubricate your squeegee so it doesn't dig or gouge the film.Be patient in positioning and squeegeeing the surface. Once the film begins to stick to the surface take a microfiber towel to remove water and massage the film. If you have trouble spots, you can use some masking tape to tension the film as it sets up.After the film has begun to set you can wrap corners and trickery areas that won't stay put with the water.Main take away is be patient! Don't expect you can wrap an entire bumper with a single sheet,

This product is garbage. It’s not the real 3M film. It is very thin, and is about as tacky as blue paint tape. Actually, tape paint is way more sticky. Scotch tape for Xmas presents is better than this tape. It does not have the 3M signature backing, like the picture shows. Do not buy this junk! I wouldn’t even give it 1 star.

I had to use this in a pinch for my vehicle (fender extension: panel between headlight and bumper end cap), and it worked out great! I'm glad I had it on hand. I am a first-time PPF installer and felt confident enough to do the job. I later learned it wasn't all that simple, but then watched a few more videos for help. =/The precut 3M PPF I purchased was better; maybe because it is a better grade (Series 200). That one had a pre-waxed and smooth feel to it. This one here is NOT smooth at all... it's quite abrasive in comparison. Had I known, I would've purchased the same exact type from Amazon. I learned the 'hard' way, but I'll leave it on that portion of my vehicle as a reminder of my tenacity to get things done right. That said, I used the passenger side (precut) PPF, cut around its borders while still on the backing, took that, turned it inside out, placed it on this PPF (to where both their front sides were touching one another... and they didn't move AT ALL), and then I cut it out to be used as the driver side PPF. Ingenious idea, aahm? It came very close to the original precut PPF (that I ripped off the vehicle after being pissed off) and was good enough to be used.Though the feel is not smooth (a minor gripe), I'll soon polish and wax it (which I found to be safe on a 3M link that I looked up) and we'll keep it moving. My only other gripe is that this film is not tall enough for me. I had to go out and measure that fender extension to make sure the dimensions of the PPF were accurate, which they were, but not for other parts of the vehicle). It's able to be stretched to 10-15% of it's original size, and more. I did everything the precut version did, and it reacts well to a heat gun. Overall, 5 Stars, but mostly for the experience. =)Hope this helps you in making your purchase. Take care and have a great day!Z.

I used this film to protect my brand new headlamp assemblies. I've little to no experience with other products of this type and considering this was my second wrap ever it came out quite good. Adhesion does seem a bit weaker than I'd like (only factors when rounding corners with short overhangs), but then maybe that's the norm or I'm just not experienced enough. Either way I do not regret the purchase and my headlights are clear & protected.Used a 20floz distilled water + a drop of dish wash soap mix with judicial spray of both surfaces. Be careful when squeezing out the remnant small bubbles, the film may get blemished (hazed) when applying too much pressure with the squeegee tool.

THIS 3M Scotchgard Clear Paint Protection is so good , but bit dear from beginning but useful to protect the sill on side doors and key handle very well. Sticks like hell once dry . IF you have expensive or new car , this is a must buy to protect the area where most hand and feet occur . Must have the right tool and chemical to make it work , for stack make a mix of 20% alcohol and 80 water in a bottle and a bit of washing soap in another bottle for cleaning and slide, the plastic is super tough , you can stretch or handle rough to fit in tight area .

Buen producto

Excelente material, llegó en tiempo y forma

Excellent stuff. Recently took some off my bike that had been on for 10 years & the bike is brand new underneath.

The edges are not cut very well or square, so you will be forced to cut them again significantly increasing the working time and reducing total surface area. It also wasn't exactly 12inches (more like 11 and 3/4) which seems nitpicky but at this price it's fair to expect better. The actual product seems genuine so that's good.
