William Smith announced as exclusive 3M film supplier

William Smith Group 1832 (William Smith) has been announced as the exclusive UK supplier of two new 3M Paint Protection Film (PPF) products.

The new 3M PPF Series 100 Gloss and 150 Gloss are now available exclusively in the UK from William Smith. Both films are designed to deliver high clarity, strong protection, and feature self-healing technology that allows minor scratches to disappear over time.

The products are available with Pattern Marketplace, 3M’s digital pattern software which allows sign and vehicle customisation businesses to access thousands of PPF and window film patterns, including more than 5,500 vehicle models spanning over ten years.

Pattern Marketplace features cloud-based editing capabilities, allowing teams to collaborate on patterns from any device.

3M’s Series 100 Gloss is designed for everyday protection, shielding paint from stone chips, scratches, and stains. Developed for professional installation on either flat or complex surfaces, the film includes a seven-year warranty.

Series 150 Gloss is aimed at installers requiring greater ease and precision of application and for installations that need to look good for longer, with 3M offering a ten-year warranty on the product. Its wider film options also make 150 Gloss suitable for full-vehicle coverage.

Both films feature a hydrophobic finish that repels water and dirt and aim to be virtually invisible once applied.

Lindsay Hutchinson, head of marketing at William Smith, says: “As the exclusive supplier of these products, we are giving installers direct access to 3M’s latest PPF innovations, delivering protection, performance and peace of mind.

“We have our own PPF experts in Neil and Michael who are always on hand to help installers select the right products and to make sure they get the most from our broad range of films and software.”

Speaking about the benefits of the films, Hutchinson adds: “For vehicle wrappers, installers, and sign-makers, these 3M PPF products offer professional-grade performance with high levels of visual clarity and durability.

“They protect vehicles while preserving the brilliance of the paint, keeping customers happy and helping businesses build a strong reputation for quality work.”
