The store on the e-commerce site will feature past and current car care product ranges that are simple to use and gets the job done.

Hazy lights mean risky nights – improve the brightness of your headlights…

Headlights play a critical role in ensuring optimal visibility especially at night, and it is important to maintain them. Unfortunately, the plastic headlight covers that millions of Malaysian cars have, tend to haze or turn yellow over time. If left unchecked, it considerably reduces the light output from the headlamp, which makes for a dim and dangerous driving experience at night.

However, fixing dull headlights does not have to be a complicated process. The 3M™ Headlight Restoration Kit features four simple steps that improves the brightness of plastic headlights. The Trizact™ Abrasives feature microreplication that are reproduced and uniformly distributed to remove yellowing, dirt build-up and small scratches without damaging the lens itself.  The kit also comes equipped with a sachet of synthetic wax for added protection against the elements for long lasting results.

Removing light to medium scratches…

Getting scratches on a car or motorbike is a fact of life for any vehicle owner. Scratches on car door handles and from minor accidents can add defects in the auto paint finish that can dull a vehicle’s appearance.  To effectively remove scratches, the 3M™ Rubbing Compound smoothens and cleans surfaces, making it a dual-purpose product. The product also removes oxidation and other stains and blemishes.

It is safe to use for 2K paint, clear coats and lacquer paint finishes. With just a light rub, the scratches are removed with impressive results. Then finish off with the easy-to-use 3M™ One-Step Cleaner Wax. As a result, dull and tired looking auto body finishes are revived with impressive and immediate results. However, it is best to investigate the scratches on your vehicle first. If they are too deep or wide, the product would not be able to completely remove them.

Fixing your pain-t points…

Got into a minor accident where paint from the other vehicle is transferred to yours? 3M™ Scratch & Scuff Removal Kit allows you to restore the shine and gloss of light to medium scratches and scuffed painted areas of the vehicle quickly, easily and without tools. Inclusive of the 3M™ Rubbing Compound, the kit also features an extremely fine P3000 grit abrasive square which eliminates scuffs and scratches. Then, simply apply and wipe off the 3M™ Rubbing Compound to restore the shine and gloss of your vehicle.

One-stop Shop…

Malaysians love to shop online, and the official 3M Malaysia Automotive Flagship Store on Lazada aims to provide its consumers with a viable and convenient purchase option.  The online store will host a range of premium and genuine automotive products such as the 3M™ Complete Fuel System Cleaner, 3M™ Glass Cleaner, 3M™ Leather & Vinyl Restorer and 3M™ Tire Restorer at affordable prices. “At 3M Malaysia, we pride ourselves for always exploring innovative ways such as digital partnerships to ensure that we are continuously offering consumers easy-to-access products and convenience, and we hope that the launch of the online store will also drive awareness of our range of car care products amongst Malaysians” added Parameswaran.
