1. To clean if the coating is not yet cured but needs another coat, wipe down with barely damp microfiber. Wet with water and fully wring out. The purpose is not to wet the truck but to wipe off any settled dirt, pollen, etc. Ensure the surface is completely dry before coating.
2. Before...
General Troubleshooting Tips: More in full training (available next week)
1. Most Common- Rainbowing- This means the coating is too thin, just apply another coat and it will go away.
2. Runs/drips- Use a bit of solvent (xylene) on the drips with a paper towel. Let it soften the coating, then...
Hey Everyone, sorry I guess my keyword alerts have not been working. Just seeing this thread.
We've experienced a mix of success stories along with some owners and detailers facing challenges with the application process. We have been helping individuals on a case-by-case basis as they contact...
You can use ProtectaClear, it won't hurt the plastics, but it does not have the UV Blockers that Everbrite has. Bare metals don't need UV protection like painted or other colored surfaces. That is one of the main differences between the coatings.
I would just add an Everbrite pint to your Cybertruck Specialty Kit. The ProtectaClear doesn’t have the UV blockers that are needed to protect the color of the plastic while Everbrite does.
Sure thing here is the link to Everbrite which is what you would need for the hard plastic on the CT. It has strong UV blockers, antioxidants and corrosion protection to protect painted metals and other hard surfaces from fading, oxidizing and corrosion.
We also make a product called Everbrite (our namesake coating) it has strong UV blockers, anti-oxidants and corrosion inhibitors. It works well on painted metals and hard plastics.
All of our coatings are stable to 550 degrees and gas off around 600, so perfectly fine to use on BBQ exteriors.
If you do BFK and Windex you should do the whole truck, then when ready solvent wipe and ProtectaClear. It is ok to drive after a few hours but is delicate for 4-5 days, so don’t wash it, or scratch it. But after that you are good to do whatever.
For pre-coating solvent wipe = 99% isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol.
Removal= xylene is best but acetone works as well. Acetone flashes off quickly so you use more while Xylene flashes off slower and allows more time to “melt” the coating away.
ProtectaClear is working with a local (Sacramento) Tesla detailer, Dazzle’s Dynamic Performance to find the first 5 local Cybertruck owners to come in on Wednesday, March 27th to have ProtectaClear applied to your truck!
ProtectaClear will stop fingerprints and keep the factory finish of your...
ProtectaClear offers more protection than from just fingerprints, it protects against tarnish and corrosion from all environmental contaminants, like bugs, bird poop, road salts, etc. So I would not recommend just doing part of a panel.
Also as @ehuna stated, there is a slight color difference...
