Protect Highly Vulnerable Door Edges
When the unavoidable happens, 3M™ Door Edge Protection Film makes sure a small mistake doesn't turn into a big problem down the road. As much as we all try to be careful with our cars, it's a common situation where a car door is opened and the edge bumps into the concrete wall of a parking ramp, or the guard rail in a parking lot, or the posts near gasoline pumps, or any of a thousand other places. It seems like a small thing at first, but it's just enough to scrape or chip the paint. But once the paint has an abrasion, it could lead to further chipping or even rust. 3M™ Door Edge Protection Film gives your car an important chip -- the clear coated urethane measure of protection.
It's Better to Install Today than Regret Tomorrow
Installing 3M™ Door Edge Protection Film is one of those measures you want to do before the damage occurs rather than wish you had after it's already there. Some people rationalize that they will be really careful with their car. But it's not only yourself you have to worry about. Other people such as kids, valet attendants, car pool riders and friends may not practice the same caution that you do.
Professional Quality Materials
3M™ Door Edge Protection Film is a super tough 6-millimeter thick clear coated urethane film that helps preserve your vehicle's finish. It's made from the same material as the professionally installed product used at car dealerships. Our door protectors are virtually invisible and clear-coated to help make them resistant to yellowing and staining. Once applied, no special care is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use wax over 3M™ Door Edge Protection Film?
Yes. When waxing the vehicle, some wax may build up along the film edges. This can easily be removed when dry with a soft cloth, such as a 3M™ Microfiber Detail Cloth (39016). Do not use any waxes containing dyes or waxes that are not recommended for urethanes. Abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds are not to be used.
How is 3M™ Door Edge Protection Film removed?
If desired, film can be removed at any time by picking up a corner of the film and pulling the film off the vehicle surface at a 90-degree angle. If the film has been present a long time, or if the film and vehicle are cold, a heat gun or hair dryer may be used to soften the adhesive, allowing easier removal. If any adhesive remains on the vehicle after removal of the film, it can be removed by using 3M Adhesive Remover (3M Part #03618), according to the package directions.
