However, since they are two different brands, there are also many differences. We recommend XPEL products because they're honestly better, but read on to make smarter choices about your favorite PPF.
- AMAZING SELF-HEALING PROPERTIES
Although 3M was the first company in the entire automotive paint protection film industry, XPEL is still best known for developing their products because they took their time and researched extensively. As a small PPF-focused company, XPEL still outperforms other companies in the industry. For example, it is known for making the world's first self-healing film, which means you only need to leave your car at room temperature in case of a scratch. The scratched surface looks like new in just 30 minutes. 3M films are good, but still not as good as XPEL films.
- GUARANTEE
The warranty offered is also one of the main differences between XPEL and 3M window films. XPEL Paint Protection Films have a ten-year extended warranty, while 3M Scotchgard only offers seven years. While both warranties are very promising, buyers prefer XPEL over 3M because of this very important factor.
