Completely Stealth Infinite Black Results

[Leafnut]

I posted my results on a different thread, but since nobody responded to my initial query for ideas, I figured nobody would respond to the (and my own) singular response with the results. Hence the new thread with a different title. Well, after weeks of research I decided upon the following:
Full body wrap PPF Suntek
Suntek black gloss PPF on roof and pillars
Vinyl chrome delete
Revivify coating on exterior
Gtechniq glass on all glass
Gtechniq leather protectant
Gtechniq fabric protectant
Gtechniq ceramic coating on wheels

I haven't decided yet on what to do with the wheels. The car seems stealth and black enough. I learned a lot in the process from some real experts, so I'm happy to share my research.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the results. Looks like a totally different car to me. Your thoughts are welcome!

Looks great man!

Amazing!!! Did you do it all by yourself, or did you have help?

Thanks Guys. No, I had it done by professionals. Had to shop around a bit to find quality guys that don't charge so much. PPF has gone a bit crazy in recent years

Looks amazing! Mind if I ask how much this cost?

 

[Leafnut]

Full body wrap & vinyl delete $6400
Everything else $1500

Suntek has a black gloss PPF that is pretty darn close to a perfect match for the infinite black color of the Lucid. My detail guy was putting all kinds of lights on it and couldn't believe how close the colors are to one another

Looks terrific. I'm leasing my 2025 AGT and plan to flip it. I did PPF on the hood/front/lower panels and rear bumper.z

Glass roof.

I'm looking at ceramic coatings... any good/not so good experience?

What I learned from several detail pros is that certain brands of PPF work better with different ceramic coatings. A good friend of mine in Dallas who specializes in the highest of high end cars advised me to go with gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra as it lasts 9 years. However, that particular ceramic coating doesn't play nice with Suntek, but better with Xpel. The problem with Xpel is that there is an ever so slight tint to it that can slightly dull the look and depth of the paint. Not good on black paint. My PPF guy showed me the difference side by side and the Suntek did make the paint look more glossy and rich.
This caused me to go with Revivify instead of a ceramic coating and so far I'm impressed. The trade off is that it only lasts 5 years.
