3M Paint Protection Films
3M Paint Protection Films Overview
3M Paint Protection Films are built on decades of materials science and backed by one of the most recognized brands in automotive protection. For dealers, that means consistent film quality, strong manufacturer support, and a warranty that adds confidence at the point of sale.
Key features:
- Clarity: Low orange peel finish for a clean, high-gloss appearance that enhances paint depth
- Self-Healing: Advanced topcoat technology helps minor scratches disappear with heat, reducing potential callbacks
- Stain Resistance: Engineered to resist staining and discoloration for long-term appearance
- Warranty Protection: Manufacturer’s warranty covering both material and replacement labor
- Brand Strength: 3M name recognition helps support premium positioning and close higher-value protection packages
3M PPF Series: Premium to Entry-Level Solutions
From premium hydrophobic options to value-driven protection, 3M offers a tiered lineup that makes it easy to upsell or meet budget-conscious customers without leaving the brand.
- 3M Scotchgard Pro Series 200 Gloss: 3M’s most advanced gloss film. Hydrophobic, self-healing, and engineered for exceptional clarity with minimal orange peel. Designed for premium packages where performance and finish matter most.
- 3M Scotchgard Pro Series 200 Matte: Built on the same advanced technology as Pro Series 200 Gloss, but with a matte finish that matches factory matte paint or converts gloss paint to a satin appearance. Ideal for personalization and high-end protection installs.
- 3M PPF Series 150 Gloss: High-clarity, self-healing, and stain-resistant film designed for long-term performance. Offers premium appearance and durability without hydrophobic properties, making it a strong mid-tier option.
- 3M PPF Series 100 Gloss: Reliable, entry-level self-healing film for budget-conscious customers. A solid solution for dealers who want a competitive starting package while staying within the 3M portfolio.
What We Love About 3M Paint Protection Films
3M PPF is engineered for consistency across rolls and series, helping shops maintain predictable installs and professional results.
Why They Stand Out in the Shop:
- Cap Sheet Technology on Select Series: Helps reduce surface impressions and maintain a cleaner finish during install
- Available in 72-Inch Wide Rolls: Wider format of Pro Series 200 Gloss and Pro Series 200 Matte allows for larger panel coverage with fewer seams
- Compatible System Approach: Works alongside 3M ceramic coatings and other 3M automotive solutions
- OEM Trusted: Proven history in OEM and performance applications adds credibility with informed customers
