Why is headlight protection so valuable?

It has been estimated that on average 1 out of every 6 automobiles will require headlight replacement due to damage from road debris.

In Canada the chance of headlight damage is one of the highest in the world.

Replacing headlight components can be an expensive and time consuming process, the average headlamp set costs $450 CDN to replace. Plastic headlights will dull and lose their transparency, glass headlights tend to break and fracture as they wear. With the 3M Scotchgard Protection on your headlights we warranty up to $1000.00 against damage due to penetrating rock.

Abrasion and weather resistant 3M headlamp protection film protects headlamps, fog lamps and parking lamps and prevents that "faded look", that everyday driving can cause.

Constructed of aerospace-grade polyurethane, 3M headlamp protection film is ultra clear an does not yellow, ensuring the clarity of your headlamps.

Does not adversely affect the photometric properties of OEM headlamps according to independent laboratory testing.*

This picture showing damage from Vinyl Bra. This will never happen with 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film. The film will also not alter the look or aerodynamics of your vehicle.

Above are two pictures that have had hand cut Paint Protection Film applied to the car. If you you take note, you will see the cut from a knife on the paint, we really hope this installer had some great insurance!

To the right is the damaged Maserati MC12.

Cutting on the car had left cut marks in the paint, resulting in thousands in damage.

Here is a a picture with several films from various competing suppliers. These films were left on the car for about 6 months they have all discolored EXCEPT 3M. The one you can't see, on the front of the hood is 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film. Do you really want to risk any other film on your car?

This picture is another widely available product. This is it after 3 months. The film has not yellowed as they claim in their literature, it has begun to stain black with road grime. This does not happen with 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film.

The picture is a well known competitive film the measles are as a result of staining which at the time could not be removed. We guarantee this will NEVER happen with 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film.

We do not disassemble vehicles unlike other installers who may do this to your new Porsche! How will this affect the warranty?

Below is an example of rock damage from Canadian roads
This damage could have been minimized had of the consumer
known of 3M PPF and had it installed.
