• Professional-Grade Adhesion: Developed by 3M Automotive for superior, long-lasting adherence to properly prepared vehicle surfaces, ensuring enduring protection in demanding automotive environments.

Applications

The 3M Automotive 8949 No Cleanup Rocker Gard Coating is suitable for professional use in:

• Rocker Panel Restoration: Effectively restores OEM appearance and provides crucial paint-chip protection for rocker panels following collision repair.
• Underbody Protection: Extends chip and impact resistance to other vehicle underbody areas requiring robust protection against environmental damage.
• Body Shop Efficiency: Optimizes workflow in professional automotive body shops, particularly when utilized with the compatible 3M No Cleanup Applicator Gun and Replacement Nozzles.

Important Application Note: This coating requires application over a 2-part epoxy automotive primer when applied to metal. Direct application over bare metal, acid-etching primers, or existing paint systems is not recommended, as this may compromise adhesion and corrosion protection.
