STEK DYNOblack-matte PPF + Tint + Ceramic

[PPTMAKR]

Finally got my CT wrapped, ended up using Seattle ClearBra based in Redmond, WA. Picked it up today and would say I'm super happy with their attention to detail and the overall outcome. I ended up matching the OEM rear tint for front two windows and doing ceramic coating, both from XPEL...wrap is STEK ppf. The dark gray Foundation Series decals were delayed so that'll be installed in the coming days. Together with the carbon fiber wheel caps I think this finishes the truck nicely. Only thing left from my to-do list is getting calipers painted blue...to better embody the BATRUCK license plate.

Looks great, I'm doing the exact same - STEK matte-black, although I'm also using STEK for my tint as well. Did you go with 20% on those front side windows? Any windshield tint?

How are the wrap edges btw, did they have any difficulties on that side?

I'm pretty particular and I'm impressed with continuity around edges (doors and tailgate). Even in the small spaces above front trunk edges and along truck bed sides they seem to have sealed it/wrapped corners well. And yes, they told me it was 20% tint to match rear...it looks identical.

Love it. I have the same! How are you maintaining it? First time cleaning and I tried detailer spray (meguiars) and it streaked badly. Had to clean up with just water that made it look presentable ?

I have ceramic wash & wax (Turtle Hybrid) and was planning to try it, but I read that wash & wax detergent isn’t good for Matte finishes. But since it’s ceramic coated (xpel), I don’t think wash & wax will affect ! Still trying to figure it out…

If you or anyone else has any tips, I’m all ears. Thanks in advance

Great question...but I haven't washed it yet so don't have any useful tips. I have found the yellow microfiber towels costco sells in bulk are great at wiping of hand prints and such. Haven't tried California Car Duster yet but suspect that'll work decent too (I have a couple different types and they're good for wiping glass on roof from pollen and such).

As others have pointed out my go-to approach pre-wrap was the Do It Yourself stalls at Brown Bear Carwash...the soap spray pre-soak stuff worked wonders (sprayed all around car, waited a minute or two, then high pressure water sprayed it all off...done).

Installers of wrap told me to be careful with abrasive soaps on the film. I have a Chemical Guys kit that I may use to do it by hand at home...will let you know how it goes.

Already been asked here, but did you get the windshield tinted as well? I am also in Seattle, and my go-to tint shop tried for 3+ hours and couldn’t get it. Looking for a shop in the area that CAN do it…feel so exposed thru the front glass now that my side glass is tinted ha

No I only got side windows done. I've heard how annoying the front windshield can be. We've had good luck on other cars with Accutint Bellevue and Jay's Tint Shop, but not sure if they've practiced on CTs yet.
