Thanks to BHPian ghodlur for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!

3M Rodent Repellent coating has been launched in India priced at Rs. 1,058 per can. It will be available at all 3M outlets but will not be sold over the counter. The 3M Rodent Repellent coating is claimed to address the issue of rodents damaging electric cables and rubber parts in cars. 

The product can be applied to the under body of the vehicle, in the wheel arches as well as in the engine bay. The vehicle is first inspected and the customer is informed about the damage caused by rodents. The engine surface is then cleaned and the area of application is dried with an air blower. The product is then applied to the recommended areas. One can of 3M Rodent Repellent is sufficient for a vehicle and can last for up to 6 months.

There are certain guidelines that need to be followed before and after applying the product. The engine should not be hot at the time of application. Also, the engine bay cannot be washed until 24 hours have elapsed since the application. Similarly, the external circulation mode of the air-conditioning should only be used after 24 hours of the application.
