Scuffs on 3M film?
Anyone know how to buff out scuff marks on the 3M film?
I have a few from people hitting my rocker panels with their heels and some new ones on the bumper from something.
The marks are like light blacks lines but scrubbing it doesn't do it. If it was normal paint then the scuffs would be gone.

It's not tint in the same sense as what they put on windows. It's on parts of the painted surfaces to purposely take the scuffs and dings from rocks and such. That's why it's there. You won't get warranty replacement for any of it because that's the intended use of it.
I've found that regular paste wax works pretty well for taking off scuff marks. You need to use some elbow grease to get it all off, though. If it's really bad, you can use polishing compound. Auto parts stores sell a version for clearcoat finishes which isn't too abrasive. But be careful - you rub too hard in the same spot, and you'll rub right through the clearcoat. Bug-Off Tar & Bug remover works well, too.
IMO, you should not use rubbing compound. It's too abrasive, and will cut through the clearcoat quickly.
