Its a temporary thing, designed for a road trip or a track event. the product costs 25 dollars. ? Its designed for short term defense, and can be peeled off.

what is the real deal??? this thread of yours talked about the 3M defender... it is the real deal... its 25 dollars. It might be the real deal for the body shop to make 350dollars for an hours work.

3M defender system, is similar to other products out there designed for temporary use.. much like stone guard clear coat, or Clear bra.. you specifically said 3M defender, which is the real 3M defender deal, and its 25 dollars, and an hours work , tops.
