What Is 3M Paint Protection Film?
3M Paint Protection Film (PPF), sometimes called a “clear bra,” is a transparent urethane film applied to your vehicle’s painted surfaces. It acts as a durable shield that defends against rock chips, minor scratches, insect stains, road salt, and UV rays.
At Merit Tint, we use 3M Pro Series PPF, one of the most advanced automotive protective films available today. If you’re in Sherman Oaks and care about your vehicle’s finish, this is the upgrade you need.
Why 3M PPF Stands Out from the Rest
There are plenty of protection films on the market, but 3M has set the gold standard. Here’s why:
- Self-Healing Properties – Light scratches disappear with heat or sunlight.
- Clarity and Gloss – Nearly invisible with high shine.
- Stain and Yellowing Resistance – Maintains clarity for years.
- Hydrophobic Coating – Repels water and dirt for easier cleaning.
- Backed by Warranty – When installed by a certified vendor like Merit Tint.
As a 3M Certified Installer and Vendor, we guarantee not just quality materials—but also precision application that maximizes performance.
Benefits of Installing 3M PPF in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks drivers experience everything from busy streets to high-speed freeway commutes. Here’s why PPF is especially valuable in this area:
- Urban Hazards: Avoid chips and dings from tight parking spots and street debris.
- Sun Exposure: Protect your car from intense SoCal UV rays.
- Value Preservation: Keep your car looking new, boosting trade-in or resale value.
- Style & Functionality: 3M PPF enhances appearance while adding stealth protection.
