ProtectaClear Before and After Photos / Results

[ProtectaClear]

We got some fantastic results today on the CT! Cleaned and protected the frunk panel with ProtectaClear. Now I know, this look could be achieved with just cleaning but this finish protection will last for years. We will have videos ready on Monday.

How are the finger prints after the coating?

How are the finger prints after the coating?

The ones that were there are completely gone. I’m hoping @ehuna posts updates for us tomorrow and in the weeks to come.

Once the coating is cured the fingerprints are greatly diminished and can be wiped off with a simple rag (or your sleeve as you get out).

Would really liked to have a camera locked off on a tripod with consistent lighting, some of these shots are so far off, light bouncing and degrees of angle really change the look from picture to picture.

Ok sweet the before and after tell me to just PPF or wrap the car for the best result. Thanks for that

I'm confused. I still see fingerprints in the after photos. Did you try Windex to clean the fingerprints off first? And the color seems darker after treatment.

Seems like the pics need labels. In the sub-groups of 4, it looks like upper left is before, bottom right is after cleaning and coating? But, yeah, confusing.

We are extremely happy with the results! We waited about a day, a few notes -

• In the first video, you can see before how easy it is to get fingerprints on the cybertruck - and it's not that easy to remove them.
• In the second video, you can see after the Protecta Clear has been applied - no fingerprints!

The kit includes everything you need, from the Protecta Clear itself, to gloves, microfiber cloths, and more.

Thank you Jackie and the whole @ProtectaClear team!

Here's old video showing the use of this product. It may be a good option..

I'm interested in solutions to reduce the fingerprints but it's so hard to judge by pictures and videos in this thread - camera angels are always different, lighting is always different, exposure is always different. Very hard to determine if the product actually worked or this is snake oil. If you guys cant make accurate before and after pictures, how can we trust you with a chemical compound?

I'm sorry about that, like I told @ehuna, we are coatings people, not photographers or videographers. And with the outdoor environment with the moving sun and the reflections from the stainless, it was difficult to reproduce exact environments. We do have application videos coming that are on a tripod from one angle, those should be ready on Tuesday. I changed the pictures in the first post to show the areas of biggest differences.

I understand your concerns, but it's because we are a coatings company and that is what we focus on, not necessarily photography. Also, I was trying to rush to get pictures out since people were anxious to see them and posted without enough context, that's my bad. I replaced them with more polished pictures that show the differences. But we have been selling our coatings for 30 years, you can't sell snake oil for that long.

For the collective good of the CT community, I’m going to re-post this information from ideaXfactory every time I see someone recommend Windex for stainless steel:

Just to reiterate about using Windex, which seems to be often recommended on this forum..

"Windex does not recommend using their product for cleaning stainless steel. Windex contains ammonia. And repeatedly applying ammonia-based window cleaner to stainless steel can damage the glossy surface or encourage the development of rust."

While not the same application, I have used ProtectaClear on polished copper tubing for a custom watercooled PC I built and it worked flawlessly.

I get it, some people want the uniform look of a wrap or color (the chameleon color is sick!), even our first tester said ProtectaClear went on easy and did just what it promised, but he hated the uneven original factory finish, so he was going to wrap. Some people want to let it patina naturally. To each their own! ProtectaClear will just offer clear protection of the original finish, and we know that's not what everyone is looking for.
