3M Paint Defender Spray Film
3M Paint Defender Spray Film
So I was watching tv late at night and saw a commercial for this. I'm probably gonna give it a shot once the grey 8 gets out of the shop to help protect the bumper from rock chips. Thought I'd share. Peels off like plasti dip. Maybe a plasti dip clear would work as well and is cheaper.
I'm excited about this product and heard about it a few weeks ago...
It is legit and from several reviews/demo's i've seen it works great and is easy to apply.
At the moment, Plastidip only has 'glossifier' which is meant to add a gloss coat to existing plastidip. PD Glossifier is much thinner than regular PD so you can't use it as a clear bra on a regular paint job. PD does offer a slightly thicker 'matte-clear' but it still won't offer the level of protection as the 3m stuff, and will turn your car a matte-finish.
The 3m product offers a thick-coat, along with a nice OEM shine.
I want to use it on my mom's Corolla, as well as my own car once the dip is off. (If this existed a few years ago I would have applied it to my front bumper/rear bumper and hood) I still have my traditional 3m clear-bra in a box that I don't want to put on because of the PIA-application.

I'll be updating as soon as I try it. Not sure how long I should wait for the paint to cure before I apply it though.
