This is a Genuine 3M Scotchgard Pro Series Paint Protection Film / clear bra bulk material roll that you can cut to fit almost any smooth painted surface. Typical areas to be covered are the leading edge of the hood, fenders, splash areas, doors, tailgates, gas filler areas, motorcycle tanks & fairings, RV's, campers, and the list goes on!
These individual rolls are cut off a master roll pictured when your order is placed.
The film is a durable 8 mil (.008") adhesive backed 3M urethane - the industry benchmark - that is applied to the front of the vehicle much the same way that window tint and vinyl graphics are applied. 3M’s newest material – Scotchgard Pro Series, has a revolutionary scratch resistant self-healing top layer to seal out road grim and keep a beautiful shine just like the rest of your paint. Scotchgard Pro Series is more elastic, more compliant, clearer, and easier to apply than the standard Scotchgard Paint Protection Film! The choice for serious pros is now available for you too!
This is the brand-new Genuine 3M Scotchgard Pro Series. It is not a "3M style / like" imitation, it is the real deal! Neither is it an expired closeout, it is fresh current production. Nor is it a non-automotive grade version that may or may not be made by 3M and is not made to automotive standards. We tried some of the aviation grade material and it turned yellow within a month… Make sure what you are looking at for your vehicle is the real deal, not some knock off.
This is the same material used by professionals. The clear, tough film helps protect against everyday road hazards that can damage and destroy your vehicle's paint finish, such as gravel, winter road salt/sand, bug stains, and road debris.

FAQ:
Q. Does Pro Series come with 3M logos on the liner?
A. No, 3M Pro Series comes on a polyester liner and the liner does not have logos printed on it - as shown in product photos.
Q. Do these rolls come in 3M Packaging?
A. No, 3M does not package this material for retail. As noted in the description we cut these individual rolls off the master roll pictured when your order is placed. It is then packaged in a plastic sleeve and shipped to you.
Q. Are all 3M 'clear bras' the same?
A. No, unfortunately there are a few sellers selling 3M sign over laminate (a clear material designed to protect a flat vinyl sign) and calling it 3M paint protection. It is NOT paint protection and is NOT a clear bra. If the price seems too good to be true and / or the description is not very specific, buyer beware.
Q. What is the difference between 3M Scotchgard and 3M Scotchgard Pro Series?
A. Among other things, Scotchgard Pro Series is self-healing, more install friendly, and much clearer than the older Scotchgard material.
Q. Is this the current generation of 3M Scotchgard Pro Series Paint Protection Film / How old is it?
A. An important question! All our materials are current 3M offerings and usually only a matter of a few months old - from the time 3M made the material to the time you get it. We have very fast materials turnover insuring you the freshest possible material!
Q. What is the shelf life of 3M Scotchgard Pro Series Paint Protection Film?
A. 3M states the material is best applied within 12 Months of production. An important reason to know how old the material you are buying is.

A. Yes, you can remove it at any time without harming your vehicles finish. It is however a one-time use product; you cannot re-install it after the adhesive has set.

A. No. If the vehicle is ceramic coated, applying the material without removing the ceramic coating is not recommended.

A. Yes, a ceramic coating can be applied to the material after the material has fully cured. We would wait a few weeks post application to have a ceramic coating applied.

A. Yes, you can and should wash and wax as normal, paying particular attention to the edges of course. Waxing will help to seal the surface and increase its life expectancy.
