The 3M Paint Defender System provides everything you need to protect your vehicle's paint where it matters. This kit contains 3M Paint Defender Spray Film, a 3M Paint Defender Application Kit, a 3M Paint Defender Spray Trigger, and a 3M Microfiber Detail Cloth. By using the 3M Paint Defender Application System, you can protect your vehicle from rocks, insects, gravel, sand and other paint chip causing road debris.

Easy to Use

The 3M Paint Defender Application System gives you the flexibility to select the surfaces you want to protect. Follow these simple instructions to prepare your vehicle for application of the included 3M Paint Defender Spray Film.

1. Pop your hood and unfold the plastic sheet to cover entire vehicle with the printed side facing up.
2. Cut/Tear a T-shaped slit in the plastic sheeting about 18 inches from the front of the hood.
3. Tape masking film down to hood with a straight line.
4. Lift hood and pull the plastic sheeting under the hood and into the engine compartment. Place an object about 3”- 4” thick (i.e. roll of paper towels, roll of tape, wood block) under the hood to prop it open to create a larger gap between hood and vehicle.
5. Next, place a second line of tape overlapping the first line of tape. The piece of tape will be removed later on while the coating is still wet. Create a “tab” at the end of the tape for easy removal. When you remove this second line of tape, it creates an invisible edge between your paint and the spray film.

Thanks to the included Spray Trigger and Microfiber Cloth, the 3M Paint Defender Application System makes the simple, 3-step application process for the 3M Paint Defender Spray Film and after-application cleanup even easier. Designed for just about anyone to use from the convenience of their own home, this do-it-yourself car paint protection process allows you to keep car vehicle looking newer, longer.
