Has anyone tried 3M spray on Paint defender?

[Cheers!]

I'm very curious to know if anyone has any success using this relatively new product from 3M.

3M Paint Defender Spray Film with synthetic wax - Sprayable Paint Protection Film, 90000 - 3M Auto

It is suppose to create a scratch proof film that you spray on to your painted areas.

It would be ideal for off roading where trees/brush encourages onto the trail.

Seems to be a perfectly clear tool dip type product. Application instructions are the same.

But here is a hundred reviews from good to bad:

I am also sorely tempted, those paint scratches are annoying!

Hmmm, not sold. Even more so after seeing the negative amazon reviews outweigh the positive, never a good sign, even assuming most of the negs. usually don't know what they are doing.

I supposed if you were treating it like most plasti-dip jobs, using in small quantities and small areas, like badges/emblems/grills/door handles maybe.

Anything spray-on, unless applied professionally, I think you are a gambler or just asking for trouble. Even the guys that plasti-dip there whole cars run into problems here and there. From my little experience, removal of plasti-dip, it peels off pretty easily.

Stick with a vinyl wrap IMO

Ive used the 3m defender on several different cars. Its a great product for cheap! Proper prep work is the key for it to turn out good. On my G8 i removed it after a year to see how it came off. Came off super easy! Dont be afraid to spray it thick. Not too thck though. My G8 that I sprayed it on is a very dark gray color. The lines were barely visable unless pointed out. Clear Plasti Dip is no comparison to the 3M defender. Plastidip clear resembles the windows of a smokey bar compared to 3m. I was a hater of it till I tried it. Now it will go on all my stuff that worth putting it on. Watch the videos and do the proper prep and it will look like a pro job.

Hey Mr Roo,

Thanks for the quick review. So in summary Plasti Dip > 3M paint defender?

Exactly opposite is how I read it. 3M Paint Defender > Plasti Dip Clear.

The 3m is much better than the Plastidip. No comparison. Crystal clear vs. a smokey bar window.
