3M Paint Defender System

Just a heads up to you guys, this stuff is about to revolutionize paint protection. Got my first can a few days ago and tested it on a small corner of the rental car im driving while my 2013 335is makes its way here from the motherland. I will be protecting my entire hood, front fender, headlights, side skirts, and bumper within the first day or two of owning the car The applications of this product are almost endless.

Very cool. Now I don't have to plastidip the entire car in matte clear plastidip or clear bra it myself. I'd spray all the parts you mentioned too, how many bottles would be needed? Be sure to post pics when you do it!

Looks like a good alternative to an expensive clear bra. Definitely let us know how your car comes out.

Wont be anything to post. Its literally invisible. Has the exact same amount of gloss as our clear coats do.

The reviews I read say if you do an entire car it doesn't look good

Yes, about time! I've had a couple of vendors f**k up my cars trying to apply the clear bra. I literally gave up so I'll apply this after my next detail this Spring

This looks like a great product. I'm tempted to do it myself.

Do it! If you do, make sure you report back with your experience.
