Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film SGH 12 is a heavy-duty, clear, 12-mil film that protects against stone chips, abrasion and weathering. Its specially formulated clearcoat helps preserve the colour brilliance and design lines of a vehicle’s painted surfaces.
Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film SGH12 supplies dual layers of advanced protection for exposed automotive surfaces. This extra-thick 12 mil (203 micron) thermoplastic polyurethane film is reinforced with a clearcoat that provides additional protection from UV damage. It comes with an easy release liner, and a clear acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) layer that adheres easily and securely to automotive paint systems, shielding the surface beneath from damage. Our Scotchguard™ Paint Protection Film is designed for a higher level of performance than 3M™ Venture Shield trade; Paint Protection Film. Its added thickness makes it ideal for OEM applications. Paint protection film is one of the best ways to preserve the showroom quality finish of a vehicle. It keeps vehicles looking newer longer, without changing the design features or colour, by creating a barrier and protecting vulnerable areas such as front bumpers, hoods, fenders, side mirrors, door handle cavities, door edges, and rocker panels. It holds up under high heat, UV exposure and salt spray. Preserving the finish of a vehicle with paint protection film (PPF) keeps it looking newer longer, and can enhance the resale value of the vehicle in the future. When applied, the transparent film is almost indistinguishable from the original finish. The tough, durable, virtually invisible urethane film offers excellent conformability around contours and is an excellent choice for maintaining the new car look that owners desire. When installed by a 3M Certified Installer, Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film is backed by a five year warranty. The applied film is warrantied against defects including yellowing, bubbling and cracking. For further details, please consult the warranty card listed below. Certified 3M Installers leverage a library of computer designed patterns to cut parts that are a custom fit for your vehicle - ensuring a precise, high quality installation. These are skilled installers in applying the film around compound curves, challenging grillwork, wheel openings, bumpers and all other areas on vehicles. The film is cut using a computer-designed kit that is model-specific, thereby delivering a precise fit that makes the film almost undetectable. For the trained technician, 3M PPF kits are easy to cut and install. From headlight restoration to acoustic materials to paint protection films, 3M automotive engineers have invented cutting-edge technologies that enable automotive technicians to deliver the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Scotchguard™ Paint Protection Film relies on these advanced technologies to prolong the fresh appearance and integrity of exposed car surfaces. It is an outstanding example of how 3M technologies support the automotive industry, providing both ease of use and superior results.

No special maintenance is required but if you would like to wax your vehicle, use waxes that do not contain dyes, abrasive polishes and/or rubbing compounds. 3M recommends 3M™ Performance Finish when waxing your car. After waxing your car, you can remove any wax build-up along film edges with a lint-free cloth.
