NEW SPRAY ON FILM (CAR BRA STYLE) FROM 3M - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WB9MCW · 05-15-2014

Paint Defender Spray Film by 3M is a spray-on paint protection film that protects your car’s paint against rock chips, bugs, sand, and other everyday driving hazards, similar to clear bra products. The difference is that this protection film is applied in three easy steps of masking the vehicle, waxing the paint to protect and spraying the Paint Defender Spray Film onto the car. Once dry, the film will protect for at least one year and can be removed by hand at any time.

I wonder what everyone thinks about this solution from 3M?

I have a few of my Harley friends that used it on their painted fairings, seems to do a good job. Not sure about hte removal task through.

I have total faith in 3M (a little interest too)...

But since the stuff is 30+ % water, it seems strange how it will bond to waxed paint.

Im going to look into this,Im always looking at ways to protect the paint.Would like to do the areas on the front fender panels,rockers and lower rear bumper.I thought about making some small clear guards behind each wheels but that might look to goofy.
