3M Paint Defender

I read somewhere (probably on a thread here) that the 3M stuff takes a bit of doing when it's time to remove it.



I just bought (but won't be trying any time soon...) the WOLF'S (not Wolfgang) "spray-on mask" product, which supposedly washes off easily.
 
I've applied to 6 cars so far. All newer, no chips on it. Pretty easy to do as long as you take your time. Haven't taken any off. But I'd imagine its similar to taking off Plasti Dip. 2 cars I did the entire hood, the 2 front fenders, and front bumper.

Ronnie, how does it hold up to washing, LSPs and everyday life?



I got some feedback on that and all said its holding up well. This stuff isn't much different than the 3M my local shop puts on. They guarantee it for life too. I did 1 coat of Z2 on 2 cars and the others just did a coat of 845. They all said it looks great. You can't even tell where the crease is until you're right up on it.
 
Interesting. Any tips on application? I ordered two cans, I'll be posting a review shortly!
 
Got it. Did you get any drips from the sprayer head? Seems to be a common complaint on Amazon.
 
How much product did you use doing a full hood? I bought it a couple months ago but haven't gotten around to trying it. I have 2 cans...
 
It looks identical to clear plasti-dip. Has anyone compared them? I've plasti-dipped a set of wheels (black) and the durability and chip resistance was impressive.
 
Anybody use this on a car that has a coating on it, like Opti-Coat? Just curious if it will still adhere properly...the instructions actually say to wax the area prior to application of the spray.
 
Client has this on his vehicle, it looks a  bit weird but I guess does provide sacrificial protection. I won't be removing it that's for sure.
