Ceramic Coating on a new CT

[Polocyberbeast]

Hello, I just received my new CT a few days ago, and now I'm looking for tinted windows, wrap or ceramic coating, and any available accessories like light bars, steps, etc. Do you have any recommendations?

I used UndrDog with success. Don't have to worry about tears if you drag your truck through the bushes and keeps bird poop from etching

Vinyl wrap, ceramic coated everything including wheels and calipers.
Super clean windshield then apply rainx
Then tints all done at one shop. The tint guy comes to the truck with precut material.
Mine is driven daily and I highly recommend ceramic coating as water just repels. This is my first ceramic coating on any vehicle and I like it. It’s even better than carnuba wax on an old sports car. I could only get my wrap in vinyl but would highly recommend Ppf for solid colors.
I could have done the coating myself but was tired of waiting.
I was trying to have my truck polished instead of wrap but after total frustration in Florida I gave up and went with vinyl. Just make it your own and drive the crap out of it.

A couple weeks ago I put ProtectaClear on mine, and so far it's been really good! I spent several hours prepping the metal to get the tea-staining off of it, but only because I was hoping for a moderately uniform look. Cleaning it up didn't make it go any faster but it's a lot easier to clean now and no fingerprints, and fixing any scratches (I do a lot of desert driving) is super easy because it self-adheres and self-levels, so you just throw a bit more on top of it and it does great!

How much ProtectaClear was necessary to cover the Cybertruck? A quart? Two quarts?

One quart will cover the truck. Please watch the application videos and feel free to call our office if you have any questions.

That’s two coats, as I read on the website?

I did it in one coat, and still had some to spare. It’s been pretty easy to apply, and although I have some small runs, I just left them because they’re pretty hard to see and I’m more of a utilitarian with the truck (just like the finish and no fingerprints).

Excellent! Thank you.

Hey Jim

did the undrdog coating change the color at all or kept it about the same

Overall slightly darker but not dramatic. I noticed that a panel I applied on a different day is slightly more shiny because I didn't let it cure as much before buffing. I had tried the everbrite without success (it's nearly impossible to get an even good looking coat). I did mine piecemeal because of that, stripping etc. My main advice is to only do 1-2 panels at a time and be consistent about cure time. I little bit of elbow grease but really pretty easy.
