The 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film (PPF) helps maintain and preserve a vehicle's exterior condition against the elements.

According to the company, 3M PPF has higher bond strength than other films by as much as 20-30 percent, giving it better coverage on curved edges of a fleet, no edge lift, and doesn't allow the sharpie effect (black smudging caused by lesser films peeling back). It also has workability to it and unlike a normal paint finish, a scratch, stain, or other mishap can effectively be cured to minimize its visibility.

The film is tested using three different types of sands at high pressure.  Accelerated weather testing also ensures the films can withstand natural conditions from extreme heat to the bitter cold, according to 3M.
