Where can I get 3M wrap these days (UK)?

Post by Ewazix » Sun Aug 26, 2018 8:14 am

Whenever I get a new car the first thing I do is stick some 3m clear wrap on the most vulnerable spots like chin (stones), sills (wife's heels), bumper under the boot lip (dog) and the door edges, but I just can't find anybody selling small quantities of GENUINE 3m in the UK now, what's happened? :idunno:

I bought some 'genuine 3m' from Amazon but it was stiff cloudy crap that looks awful and obviously not 3m. I'm only after a few meters about 12-15cm wide and don't want to waste time and effort with rubbish film, if 3m isn't available in small quantities now does anybody know the source of a good quality alternative in small sizes please?

Was it genuine, decent stuff? Most 3m on ebay seems to be from overseas sellers and after wasting money on the wrap from Amazon I'm wary. Got a link please?

i can get you whatever film you want.. if you need anything drop me a line. Genuine 3m and Avery is expensive however. Hexis is another major player but the films can be difficult to work with unless you have experience due to the tack level, very similar to 3m. Avery is a dream and i would guess most people could wrap a car with very little tuition with Avery.
