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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this film protect my car’s paint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8mil thickness for chip and scratch resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear finish preserves original paint color and gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure-sensitive adhesive for long-lasting adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be trimmed to fit custom areas like mirrors or edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes VViViD’s kit easier to install than raw film?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYellow detailer squeegee for smooth, even pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo anti-scratch felt decals to protect the film surface while squeegeeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-cut 4-inch width minimizes trimming for many edge areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks wet or dry depending on technique for repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I apply this 4\" x 72\" strip on my vehicle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

Clean the surface with mild soap and avoid harsh chemicals. Minor surface scuffs can often be minimized by polishing with products compatible with PPF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to resist yellowing and road contaminants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash with car-safe shampoo; avoid solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspect edges periodically and replace if lifting occurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrim or replace sections rather than remove entire panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this film removable without damaging paint?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—when removed properly and heated mildly, the adhesive releases; remove slowly to avoid residue and clean the surface afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use the film on painted plastics or chrome?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It adheres to many painted plastics and smooth chrome, but test a small area first and avoid porous or heavily textured surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"VViViD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087375413406,"sku":"B01LY0GIZV","price":34.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/vivid-3m-clear-film-front-packaging_46fb1847-95a6-4810-93e8-69ea9f0d1cfe.jpg?v=1785922271","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/vvivid-clear-paint-protection-film-4-x-72-8mil-3m-scotchgard-strip-with-toolkit-for-door-edges-bumpers","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
