I wrapped my company van with this 3M Controltac film, and the installation was way easier than I expected. No bubbles, even around curves and the finish looks glossy and professional. It feels durable enough to last a long time outdoors.

I used the 3M IJ 180Cv3 Controltac for wrapping my delivery van and it was a smooth process. The air release channels made it bubble-free and it conforms perfectly around curves. After weeks outside, it still looks sharp and glossy.

I recently wrapped my van with 3M IJ-180Cv3 and I couldn’t be happier. The film’s air release channels made the install so much easier, with no bubbles at all. It’s holding up great even in the tight curves and corners. Definitely my go to for wraps!

I used the 3M IJ-180Cv3 Controltac for a partial vehicle wrap and it made the job a lot easier. The air release helped avoid bubbles and it conformed nicely around the deeper curves. Took my time installing it, but the material was pretty forgiving.
