When perfection is the expectation, 3M™ IJ175CV3 steps up as a premium solution for the most demanding wrap jobs. Building upon the trusted performance of IJ180, this advanced cast vinyl introduces refinements that elevate both the installation process and the final result, especially where deep curves, contours, and flawless finishes are involved.
What Sets 3M™ IJ175CV3 Apart?
While IJ180 is considered the industry standard, IJ175CV3 was engineered to push the boundaries even further. The key difference lies in the enhanced Comply™ v3 air-release technology, which features finer, more densely packed microchannels for virtually invisible air release patterns. That means smooth finishes, fewer bubbles, and a cleaner look overall, ideal for high-profile vehicle wraps where surface perfection is critical.
