I'm getting the sense that the matt finish is actually trickier to do than gloss, because any part that's not perfect is going to show. I'm getting the sense that the 3 more tricky part is the hood with the vent, the back spoiler and the mirrors. I think they did a really good job on the hood...

3M satin PPF on quantum grey

I got my car back from Bespoke. It’s not completely dry yet, there’s still some bubbles underneath the PPF. Most of the edges are wrapped and he fixes a few locations where we noticed something. The mirror is done in a few pieces and not entirely seamless, I’ll have to see how I feel about...

My understanding is that those touchless automated car washes is okay, but those with the brushes are quite damaging to the paint/PPF. The link is in my comment about ScottHD youtube channel. The PPF would still protect the paint from the scratches, but the PPF would not self-heal after some...

The weather of the pacific northwest has less sun/heat compared to Texas where those videos are made, our cars are unlikely to be outside 24/7 like those videos. So I'd expect the PPF to fair better than the video, I think of them as accelerated extreme cases. But you're right that the...

I did the Snapshot thing a few years back and completely regretted doing it. They made you put that device in your car for almost a year and record all your "hard" acceleration and braking for very chilled ICE car driving, I can't imagine enjoying the Lucid while the device din at you all the time.

That's what I do as well. The fob stays in a faraday bag at home. The mobile key works pretty well for me, just one less thing to worry about.

My Lucid is at Bespoke right now getting the full wrap and ceramic for the glasses. I can't wait to get the car back to see the results. I'll test the 3M wrap which is supposed to be hydrophobic for awhile and warrantee for 10 years, but it's likely I'll add ceramic on top of that if it's not...

This happens to me with some frequency. The same workaround by pushing the screen in does work for me, but we shouldn't be relying on workarounds like this. The Lucid service team suggested that I bring in the Lucid to replace the carrier mechanism the screen sits on. I'll do that later next...

While I was researching the subject, there's a lot of marketing hypes and sales pitches from people selling them, and 3rd party experiences of product performance and longevity is really hard to come by. Then I came across this ScottHD youtube channel. He's been doing long term testing of...

I’m new to this so take my observations with a grain of salt. Of the few cars I saw, both shops tug in the edges in most areas, there’re places where I can see the edge at tight and less noticeable places from both shop. But I think Eastside Auto’s cut is a little cleaner because they look...

I'm thinking of matting my Lucid with Bespoke, I'll go to their shop today to check out another vehicle where they're also doing matte.

Here's my measurement from REW baseline and the equalizer setting I'm using.

A quick update on the pilot screen issue, I noticed that it's not related to software at all. It's just that sometimes the pilot screen does not retract fully, in those cases, the screen will not correctly come down. If I push it in with a bit of resistance, it will correctly extend.

I was talking to Bespoke about doing at satin finish for all the grey area and ceramic for all the glass and top area. Eastside auto seems to be a lot harder to get a hold of.

Does the $8K include ceramic coating?

Are you doing a full wrap?

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I haven’t got a chance to connect with eastside auto, they seems to be closed on days I’m available. What’s the price they’re quoting you?

What makes you choose Eastside Auto over the others?

I think it’s quite possible to make the user trace some pattern to confirm reset. But that’d require a screen. With so many physical buttons, there got to be a safe combination that can work reliably.
