Introducing ProtectaClear: the smart coating option to protect your 30X stainless steel factory finish

[agordon117]

The removal of ProtectaClear is simple and will not change the original finish at all. It can be stripped with Xylene or Xylene substitute (for those of us in California). We will be doing application videos this or next week and will include removal of the coating as well. I will be sure to post the videos in a separate thread on this forum so they are easy to find.

They are asking about the black plastic trim. What happens if either protectaclear or xylene get onto the black plastic fenders.

Thank you Protectaclear, for being on the forum!

Application Q -

When applying to the steel with whatever applicator you supply, what happens to nearby painted, plastic, rubber, glass etc parts when they accidentally get the product applied to them?

Not sure if using xylene, a pretty harsh solvent, on any of these “over-applied” parts is a good idea either.

ProtectaClear will not damage other hard surfaces such as glass, hard plastics, paint, etc. Any soft rubber, soft plastics will need to be protected from the coating while wet (during application). Once ProtectaClear has dried it will have no effect on these surfaces. To remove from hard surfaces you can use xylene or acetone, it will not damage glass or hard plastics. In fact, Everbrite coating (one of our other coatings) would be a great way to protect the hard plastic wheels and fenders.

I assume there has to be quite a "preparation" too to get the stainless as clean and perfect as possible before you seal it. Just like for Clear PPF. You don't want to seal in an inconsistent stainless look.

May have to do the Beekeper's Friend polishing to get all the panels as perfect as possible and then some kind of surface prep for the smart coating to adhere best as well.

You are correct, in that when you coat it, it seals in the look you have, so you must ensure that it looks exactly how you want it before coating. Barkeepers Friend is an acid based cleaner and it leaves a film, so before coating with ProtectaClear you must neutralize the acid. The kits will have a neutralizing soap in them for this purpose. We also have a stainless steel cleaner available, but we are waiting to test in on a Cybertruck before we suggest it for this purpose.

Excellent, if your product can indeed be removed without damaging the vehicle it is an affordable option that may solve the fingerprint issue with the CT.
Will be standing by for results/vids/pics. Keep us posted.

We believe we have found the perfect preparation solution and have been testing it. We are doing a test on a CT later this week as well. Will post a video early next week.

We have had several people buy it to try, here is the link if you want to try it. Or I see you are in Redding, if you want to bring it down to Sacramento, we can do a test for you.

How often do I need to reapply ProtectaClear?

Usually every year or two, depending on the abuse you put your Cybertruck through. There is no need to strip the coating to reapply, ProtectaClear® will blend to itself and can be reapplied as needed, even with spot reapplication. The process is as simple as Wash-Dry-Reapply. Simply make sure the surface is clean and apply another layer of ProtectaClear. It is self-annealing, so it blends to itself even years later and maintains the strong layer of protection.

I’m curious, what does it feel like once applied to stainless?

 

[ProtectaClear]

It smooths out the finish to the touch. Not that the CT has a deep surface profile, but it levels out the profile of the coated surface.

For some folks that asked for it, I made a couple of videos of how fingerprints are no longer an issue after applying Protecta-Clear:
