3M Film

[Jimmy G.]

I have 3M protective film on my Z06 front end. After returning from Denver, I have a problem removing the bugs from the film. Anyone have this issue and found a solution?? The paint is protected but the front end looks like crap. HELP

Re: 3M Film

2M sells a protective film for the initial protective film and i just happen to own a roll that u can have for the paltry price of 100K. regards, mike

Try some WD-40 on the bug guts. Spray liberally and let soak for about 15 minutes before washing with hot soapy water.

Re: 3M Film

I've noted the same thing. If you don't remove the bug stuff immediately, you get stains. It's worse if they get a chance to get baked on.
I carry a fiber towel and cleaner in my 08 at all times just for this purpose.

The guy who did my X5 said to use rubbing alcohol to clean it, then wipe it with spray detail/quick detail (I use Meguier's)

Did you try a Clay Bar?

Jimmy,

Those 3M adhesive covers are disposable. Just strip it off and put on another. It will be ready for the next trip then.

LOL and a lot!

Unfortunately these films are the high $$$$$ permanent professionally applied (sorta). Not tear aways.

Jimmy,

You mean you didn't buy several sets. A man with a ZO-6 should not be cheap!

Is that roll of 2M film still available. I have heard that 2M products are far superior to 3M. Would you consider an offer of 99K for the roll.

Jimmy, we just got back yesterday. Spent this afternoon cleaning her car back up, so I went to O'Rileys and bought a can of "Sea Foam - Bugs be Gone." It is in a red bottle. It worked great. Don't know how it would work on the 3M film, but it worked great on her car. I followed up with a quick detail. Now we are ready for Rhode Island! By the way we had 3875 miles of bugs and one bird on the front end.

Re: 3M Film

Re: 3M Film

Re: 3M Film

One could do like Rick Alshire does with his new C7. He just never washes the bugs off and doesn't worry about it. Obviously.
