Cybertruck Paint Protection: What Works Best for Stainless Steel?

If you’re the proud driver of what has to be the most instantly recognizable vehicle on the road today, the Cybertruck, then you probably don’t need reminding about how unique it is. 

From the inside out, caring for your pride and joy requires professionals who’re experienced and confident in its idiosyncrasies, and that includes it’s Hard Freaking Stainless (HFS) exterior (yes, we know it really stands for Hot Formed Stainless, but the former better matches its kick-ass looks).

Soooo…. When it comes to protecting the exterior, it’s crucial that any paint protection film (PPF) and/or ceramic coating is designed specifically for this material.

Let’s Talk Cybertruck Paint Protection Film

If you didn’t know already, not all PPF is made equal. But, when it comes to the Cybertruck, this is even more relevant. Stainless steel PPF is very different from the ones that can be installed on regular paintwork. And woe betide anyone uses anything other than those that are designed particularly for this purpose.

Cybertruck's patented alloy is a material very similar to Elon’s SpaceX. But out in the wilds of our galaxy, there aren’t any issues with all the Earthly contaminants that your truck comes into contact with daily. There are no birds taking aim, nor debris being whipped up by wind, and we’re pretty sure there’s no tree sap dripping on the interstellar highway. OK, there might not be any meteors or space debris to worry about down here, but your Cybertruck’s bare exterior will have to contend with acid rain, stone chips, salt, and more.

It's these day-to-day issues that virtually demand that you add PPF to the truck. Yes, you can have dedicated Cybertruck detailing done regularly (and it’s advisable), but an additional protective layer is what’s needed to ensure that the precious metal is shielded from permanent scratches.

While PPF is a great option, there are further ways you can bulletproof your truck to protect that beautiful façade—namely, the wonder that is ceramic coating.

Everything You Need to Know About Cybertruck Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating that’s designed specifically for the Cybertruck is one of the best protection methods. Not only does it prevent UV rays, chemicals, and other environmental factors from reaching the metal, but it also adds an incredible depth to how the truck looks. 

But, as well as adding a rock-hard, virtually impenetrable layer and improving the aesthetics, it also makes the vehicle so much easier to keep clean. Because ceramic coating is hydrophobic—meaning water beads and runs away from the surface—it takes any dirt, dust, and other contaminants with it. Washing becomes a breeze, leaving you far more time to cruise the streets rather than endlessly washing and polishing to keep her looking her best.

However, paint protection for the Cybertruck doesn’t end there. Because the ultimate option is to use a ceramic coating-PPF combo, whereby you get the incredible benefits of both products all rolled into one.

Remember though, whether you choose PPF or ceramic coating alone, or decide to go for the combination of the two, that you should only let a supplier who knows and understands the intricacies of the Cybertruck. If that means you have to pay a few bucks more, then believe us, it’s money well spent. Because the last thing you want is for an inexperienced provider to use an inappropriate product.
