3M Scotchgard paint protection film is composed of an extremely tough and durable thermoplastic urethane. This layer is covered by a clear coat that contains UV protectants to counteract harmful ultraviolet rays and to resist yellowing. This 8 ml coat is attached with a high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive that ensures excellent adhesion to OEM paints, preventing costly field failures.

Maximum Protection...Minimal Impact When our Chip Guard kits are properly applied, using our wrap around technique, it will protect the high-wear areas of your vehicle such as hood, fenders and bumper. This OEM-approved clear urethane film does not compromise the vehicle's colour brilliance.

It protects from damage caused by stone chips, weather, bugs and abrasions from many other types of road debris. Our Chip Guard kits are the Clear Advantage . . . . to your car's paint protection.
3M conducts routine testing of their Scotchgard film using a gravelometer. This unit is designed to reproduce the effect of gravel impacting exposed painted surfaces of a car.

CLEAR & LASTING CHIP GUARD PROTECTION
3M Scotchcal Paint Protection Film

Testing is based on the SAE standard required by vehicle manufacturers material specifications. The photograph below identifies the standard test on a 4 by 12 inch steel panel, half coated with the 3M Paint Protection Film used by Chip Guard, and the other half left exposed. This panel is left at room temperature to ensure complete adhesion.

After complete adhesion, the panel is frozen to -30F and placed inside the gravelometer. One pint of approximately 250-300 stones are sprayed at the coated surface at a velocity of 30-60 mph.

As this photograph clearly shows, the panel section coated with 3M film was left undamaged while the unprotected side suffered chipping and dents. Clear and lasting Chip Guard protection. Protection that lasts the life of your car.
