VViViD Clear Paint Protection Film 4" x 72" — 8mil 3M Scotchgard Strip with Toolkit for Door Edges & Bumpers

VViViD 3M Clear Paint Protection Vinyl Film is an 8mil clear polyurethane strip with adhesive backing designed to protect automotive paint from chips, scratches and road debris while remaining visually unobtrusive.

This roll of paint protection film (4 inches by 72 inches) uses 3M Scotchgard technology backed by VViViD's installation toolkit to help you apply a near-invisible protective layer on vulnerable areas like door edges, rocker panels, and hood leading edges. The clear film sits flat and transparent once applied so the factory finish stays visible while extra abrasion resistance is added. You get a professional-feel product and two felt decals that reduce installation marks for a cleaner result.

How does this film protect my car’s paint?

The film absorbs impacts from small stones, road grit and everyday contact that would otherwise nick the paint. Its polyurethane composition provides a flexible, tear-resistant layer that sacrifices itself before the OEM finish does. Adhesive backing keeps the film firmly in place without bubbling when applied correctly.

• 8mil thickness for chip and scratch resistance
• Clear finish preserves original paint color and gloss
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive for long-lasting adhesion
• Can be trimmed to fit custom areas like mirrors or edges

What makes VViViD’s kit easier to install than raw film?

The included VViViD Toolkit simplifies alignment and smoothing during installation so you achieve a low-profile result with fewer installation marks. The yellow detailer squeegee and felt decals reduce surface marring and help push out trapped fluid and air. These basic tools make hand application more forgiving for DIY installers.

• Yellow detailer squeegee for smooth, even pressure
• Two anti-scratch felt decals to protect the film surface while squeegeeing
• Pre-cut 4-inch width minimizes trimming for many edge areas
• Works wet or dry depending on technique for repositioning

Where should I apply this 4" x 72" strip on my vehicle?

The roll size and width make it ideal for narrow, high-impact locations: door edges, bumper corners, side skirts, and hood leading edges. You can also combine multiple lengths to cover longer sections or wrap around curves. Because it’s clear, placement preserves factory trim and decals.

• Door jambs and leading edges to prevent chips
• Front bumper corners and hood lips against debris
• Rocker panels and mirror stalks for scratch protection
• Trim pieces where stone chips commonly occur

How durable is the film and how do I maintain it?

The polyurethane layer resists abrasion and yellowing for long-lasting protection; longevity depends on exposure and care. Clean the surface with mild soap and avoid harsh chemicals. Minor surface scuffs can often be minimized by polishing with products compatible with PPF.

• Designed to resist yellowing and road contaminants
• Hand-wash with car-safe shampoo; avoid solvents
• Inspect edges periodically and replace if lifting occurs
• Trim or replace sections rather than remove entire panels

Who this is for: VViViD’s 3M Clear Paint Protection Film is for car owners who want discreet, targeted protection without investing in full-vehicle coverage. It’s suited to DIY enthusiasts, detailers doing touch-ups, or anyone who wants to shield high-impact edges and small sections with a reliable, transparent barrier. If you prefer professional installation, the roll size and included tools also make it easy for shops to apply neat, durable patches or strips.
