3M Paint Defender?

Just curious if anyone has tried the 3M Paint Defender product (http://3mauto.com/products/paint-defender)? We are in an area with heavy brush and I'm wondering how this stuff would work at helping to keep the scratches off the truck.

I dont have the defender spray-on film, I do have the Scotchguard 3M film sheets installed on my VW & Audi.. no complaints, works well IMO. it is undectable except the edge transition under certain lighting.

This stuff looks like it's supposed to be able to peel off after your done with it too. I was thinking about giving it a quick spray before a trip then peeling it off after.

yes, pretty much how it works, even the sheets too.. once they have reached the end of life, peel it off.. think mine said 5 years. alot of trackdays folks just use painters tape or contact paper for temp applications.
