3M Clear Paint Protection Vinyl Film 4 Inch Wide Choose Your Size Including Tools (4 Inch x 48 Inch)

Good quality

This was surprisingly simple to apply! I used it for my 90s Kona Mountain Bike to protect the paint from my frame bag.I cut it into the pieces I needed, sprayed it with soapy water, pressed it down and squeezed the excess, and then heated it with a blow dryer. The next day it was clear and applied perfectly.Overall it's really easy to use, great protection and thickness, good price, and very easy to fit to what you need it to. It's also very durable, hasn't budged since I applied it.

I've been putting off reviewing this b/c I'm a little torn. As others have mentioned, this is not an easy product to work with, however, if you can place it properly, it will stay, and will provide good protection against degrees and chipping. This is not really an adhesive backing as much as it is vinyl sheating. One reviewer reccomended using a spritz of soapy water applied lightly to the frame to help adjust the vinyl. I did not do this, but in hindsight, I think this would work well. Be aware that it is difficult to cut because it is very rubbery and sttetchy. I had to cut out for holes of the bottle cage, and used an xacto knife. It was very tedious. It can be done if your careful and take your time. I hope this helps. I would purchase again.

I ordered 4"x96" roll for my medium size Mountain Bike and it was NOT enough. It was only enough to cover all sides of the seat stays, chain stays and the very bottom of the seat tube. Need to order another roll to cover the down tube and fork.It's not easy to install. I used a spray bottle with soapy water (just add some Dawn dish soap to the water). This method worked really well. It gives you plenty of time to move around your pieces and get them in the right position.It took me about 3+ hrs just my first time doing this on the mountain bike and I didn't even finish the whole thing.It's very tricky to cut your pieces correctly for different parts of the frame that are curved and tapered. You end up with air bubbles but if you keep working those air bubbles with the included squeegie, by the time the soapy water dries you will get a nice tight fit. Maybe a few minor air bubbles in a few places but no big deal. Your bike frame is much more protected now, which is the whole point.My mountain bike has a matte finish carbon fiber frame. This 3M tape is glossy, so it looks now like part of the bike is glossy and parts and matte.

I purchased a small amount of VViViD 3M clear paint protection vinyl film to see if I'd be able to use it and I must say that I am impressed. The product was easy to apply and the end result is good. The film provides a good level of protection for my vehicle's paint.One thing I love about this film is how well it blends with the paint; it's almost invisible and doesn't detract from the overall appearance of the vehicle. Additionally, it is highly durable and resistant to scratches, chips, and other types of damage.Overall, I recommend VViViD 3M clear paint protection vinyl film to anyone looking to protect their vehicle's paint while maintaining its original appearance.

Kit worked great to protect my new Trek Marlin! Didn't use the squeegee and the felt that came with it. Definitely do some research on how to install before you do!

Arrived in minimal packaging, which is fine. Saves on waste. No instructions were provided. Had to search for a video on YouTube. Pretty straightforward application technique. The edges of the film had jagged remnants, likely from the cutting process. After receiving the product, I'm a bit disappointed that I paid so much for it. Just applied, will see how well it holds up.

The stuff is fantastic. I've put it on my car and on my mountain bike to protect the paint. When installing it, make sure you're using soapy water. The more soapy water the better and then squeegee the water out. When done right, it's a completely invisible layer of protection that lasts forever.

Small size

It came unbound in the rain

Great for protecting vulnerable paint work

I'll come back once I've applied the product. But for now, I'm going to have to spend time cutting a few mm each side to make this smooth. Edges are very rough and clearly a poor cut from a bigger roller and repacked. A this price per inch I'm expecting it to be perfect. If I had where to get another replacement soon I would have returned it. Lets hope it sticks as it should.

First time PPFer so I can't compare to other options, but when installed it sticks well and even self-levelled a couple of bubbles that I couldn't remove.Plus, I purchased 96 inches but received 120 inches, so enough leeway for one practice attempt.Not a fan of the hard plastic 'squeegee' provided as its sharp corners seem like they could damage the film, but I just used my thumbs anyway.
