Tesla Model 3 Stek DYNOpurple Paint Protection Film

Tesla Model 3 Stek DYNOpurple Paint Protection Film

Tesla Model 3 Stek DYNOpurple Paint Protection Film done at our Redmond Washington Seattle ClearBra shop has been completed. OMG, you talk about one unique Tesla Model 3. This was once a white Tesla Model 3 and is now an awesome purple Model 3. At first the client was in contact and unsure about the exact option he would take be it a Xpel ULTIMATE FUSION gloss clear bra, Xpel STEALTH satin matte PPF, colored vinyl wrap in a psychedelic flip purple color, or the final and best choice a STEK DYNOpurple clear bra PPF paint protection film. Don’t let your eyes fool you, this is a clear bra paint protection film, not a thin little vinyl wrap which would’ve worn out pretty quick compared to the STEK DYNOpurple installation we did for them at our Seattle ClearBra location in Redmond Washington USA.

We have quickly shown our skill at our Redmond Washington Seattle ClearBra location when it comes to Tesla vehicle protection services in the Greater Seattle region. This Model 3 has set the bar very high for those who attempt to follow in our footsteps. Out of all the clear bra paint protection film, detailing and tint shops in and around Seattle, only a few would ever take on such an immense installation. We feel proud to be one of them and will continue in our efforts to challenge ourselves and continue building our skill with Tesla vehicles. We pride ourselves on being one of the leaders of high-quality installations, if not the leader when it comes to Tesla vehicle protection services in Greater Seattle Washington.

As mentioned previously, the thought may have been to do a psychedelic flip purple viny wrap on the Tesla Model 3. This said, after some discussion on the longevity issues of vinyl wraps, plus the limited warranty offered we are proud the end option was the STEK DYNOpurple installation, and the results speak for themselves. With the STEK DYNopurple you get a 10-year warranty vs at most 5 years with vinyl wraps. On top of this the STEK DYNOpurple clear bra PPF has a pre-ceramic coated surface, ability to stop rock chips, scratches, sandblasting, errant shopping carts and even door dings. This is heads and feet above what one would ever get from vinyl wraps.

Yes, we agree this comes at a cost dollar wise, a fair bit above a colored vinyl wrap. This said, with a vinyl wrap you’ll always be replacing pieces as the years go on. Also, sooner than later, a thin vinyl wrap will need to be fully replaced. At this point one has to hope over the years the vinyl wrap manufacture continues to make the same color with the same blend or even with some small damages, it will be impossible to replace and match the original vinyl wrap. With the longevity expected from the STEK DYNOpurple paint protection film, this is mostly eliminated, due to the fact most clients don’t own the vehicle beyond 10 years, which is what the period of the warranty is for. When the client does decide to sell the purple Tesla Model 3, they have the option to remove the film, and return it to its original color of white. We would expect though when sold many people looking to buy a Tesla would likely jump at the opportunity to own such a unique color.

We also tinted all windows, including the windshield with Xpel PRIME XR automotive window tint. This will keep the owners of the Tesla Model 3 very comfortable when traveling locally or down south. Xpel PRIME XR is a level above Xpel PRIME CS and one below Xpel PRIME XR PLUS. With the PRIME XR series you get the shading benefits of the PRIME CS series window tint, but with the addition of Infared heat rejection up to 88% depending on the shade chosen.

Seattle ClearBra Tesla Vehicle Protection Service

When we do most BMW’s it’s a bit different from our Tesla clear bra installations. For the most part when it comes to pieces removed full coverage BMW paint protection film installations will have the taillights removed, gas cap cover, emblems taken off, and sometimes the handles as well. Beyond this, most other pieces stay on the vehicle during the installation. One main reason behind this is the complexity and over engineering most BMW vehicles have when it comes to how their bumpers are held in place which require extensive time to remove vs a Tesla for example. This said many times when doing an Xpel STEALTH satin matte installation, where we are changing from gloss to satin, we do have to remove more pieces like bumpers to do the job well. At Seattle ClearBra, we go above and beyond in most ways when compared too many clear bra installation shops throughout America, and well beyond other paint protection film installers throughout the Greater Seattle region. This philosophy is also afforded to our other vehicle protection services clients be it a Lamborghini or Honda and anything in between. This said, we do offer budget packages that are not as extensive when it comes to parts removal or wrapped edges where needed.

Example of our Tesla high quality clear bra installations

Full front Tesla installations: We take down the front bumper, lower the lights, take off the emblem and remove the side camera or wheel well trim on the X and Y. This of course is in addition to fully washing the front end, clay bar and silicone wax removal process. This like the full coverage below allows us to wrap virtually every single edge around the corner providing a far cleaner installation. With this extensive preparation and installation, you have a full lifetime workmanship warranty to our Seattle ClearBra clients.

The reason for this is, to allow us to wrap virtually every single edge around the corner providing our clients a far cleaner installation.

Summary of the Tesla Model 3 Stek DYNOpurple Paint Protection Film install

Tesla Model 3 Stek DYNOpurple Paint Protection Film turned out fantastic. The original color was a white Model 3. This makes it very hard to convert to a dark purple which led to a great deal of parts having to come off to wrap virtually every edge. With this mentioned, it is impossible to cover every last area of white on every edge. Albeit the little, tiny edges here or there showing the original white on the Tesla Model 3 are hardly noticeable unless you’re looking over every last area at every angle trying to find any of the old white color. This is simply a limitation that has to be accepted when doing a colored clear bra paint protection film installation. We can say if the car was originally black it would even be much less noticeable than the original white color, which highly contrasts a dark purple clear bra.

The Xpel PRIME XR ceramic nano window tinting done will dramatically help keep the interior cooler and lead to a much more comfortable driving experience when the sun is shining. Along with the Infared heat rejection our Tesla Model 3 client will have the benefit of 99.9% UV ultraviolet rejection. This will help save the occupants from the damaging UV rays and the interior surfaces of their Tesla Model 3. Near all Tesla vehicles that come in fr clear bra installations do end up getting window tinting. In fact, most all of them get every last window covered with Xpel window tint and not just a few as Tesla vehicles a little mini rolling greenhouses when the heat comes out.

As usual when picking up your vehicle after an installation there will be some water bubble that remain in the window tint and clear bra, where applied. This water will dissipate in time. Of course, when it’s sunny and warm this will happen faster than when it’s rainy and cold. We do recommend our clients who get a clear bra installation schedule a follow up appointment, at least 2 weeks after the clear bra installation, in order to allow us some time look over the finished job for water bubbles. Sometimes water bubbles dry up and leave an air bubble or possibly an edge that didn’t stick down may require a small trim to the clear bra at the edge, or at worst, sometimes a replacement of the piece. This is always done free or charge for our clients.

Xpel Paint Protection Film

The 4 main clear bra films through Xpel have 10-year manufacturer warranties, self-healing properties and are as follows:

• Xpel ULTIMATE PLUS – This is a glossy transparent film used to protect most vehicles, be it on the body or interior pieces and interior screens.
• Xpel ULTIMATE FUSION – Same as the ULTIMATE PLUS except with FUSION PLUS ceramic coating applied during the manufacturing process.
• Xpel STEALTH – Satin matte transparent clear bra used to protect an existing satin finish on your vehicle, or to change from a gloss finish to a satin finish, while maintaining the original color.
• Xpel ULTIMATE PLUS BLACK – A clear bra film used to change a surface to a gloss black finish.

The benefits of a full coverage clear bra installation, beyond all panels protected from scratching and rock chips, is there will never be a need to polish the paint. This is because the Xpel ULTIMATE PLUS or FUSION paint protection film has a self-healing surface, that self-heals when its warm outside, allowing the film to heal from most minor abrasions. This could be from your washing equipment, careless hand, or item rubbing on the surface, especially when it’s a black or dark colored vehicle. To not oversell and exaggerate the self-healing properties, you can still scratch the film to a point of the clear bra surface not being able to heal. This would generally be by purposely scratching the PPF with a sharp object, or if someone tries to key the vehicle in an attempt to scratch the paint as some examples. The good news here is the Xpel ULTIMATE or Xpel ULTIMATE FUSION PPF clear bra will act as a barrier and sacrificial layer, very likely saving the vehicle from needing to go to a body shop for painting, saving time and money. Further to this, if you take your vehicle off-roading the pin striping usually done when tree branches rub down the side of the vehicle in most cases, self-heal when it’s sunny out. This would again save a good deal of time generally spent polishing out those fine scratches.

When it comes time for washing your Tesla, or any other vehicle with Xpel paint protection film, the process is as one would normally wash the vehicle. This can be in a brushed drive thru wash, touchless car wash or hand washed. At Seattle ClearBra we always recommend hand washing, although not required. One cavate to this is if you have Xpel ULTIMATE FUSION clear bra, or a Xpel FUSION Plus ceramic coating applied, or any other ceramic coating for that matter, it’s always best that your vehicle should be hand washed, and never an automated wash. The reason for this statement is, harsh chemicals found in automated washes will rapidly remove the ceramic coating, thereby wasting the money or time you spent applying the ceramic coating, as it will need to be re applied much sooner. Xpel has a great companion product used to keep your ceramic coating alive called Xpel BOOST. This product is applied after washing and will help keep the hydrophobicity characteristics of your ceramic coating working.

Xpel PRIME Window Tinting

As previously mentioned, we did the window tinting on all windows with Xpel PRIME XR ceramic series tint. This was a very wise choice our client made for his Tesla Model 3 protection installation at our Redmond Washington shop. This saves time running around from shop to shop. He opted for the Xpel PRIME XR window tint series which will stop a great deal of Infared heat and near 100% UV rejection. There is also a Xpel PRIME XR Plus series of window tint film that incredibly stops even more Infared heat then the Xpel PRIME XR. At Seattle ClearBra we have a carbon series color stable window tint film called Xpel PRIME CS which is used to provide shading, while not stopping much Infared heat rejection. The Xpel PRIME CS series on window tint is more of a budget film, for those who simply want the tinted look and not concerned about heat rejection.

STEK DYNOflex Windshield Protection

We went over the DYNOflex windshield protection film, which is a semi-permanent installation, that’s a sacrificial layer, taking the abuse vs the windshield. It’s expected that every so often the DYNOflex windshield film will need to be replaced in order to keep your windshield as clear as possible. At this point they’ve chosen to not have this part of the protection to be added at present but may soon down the road. The only minor complaint we, or anyone could have of this protection film for your windshield is, it does create a very minor distortion when focusing on little things while looking out the window.

Xpel FUSION PLUS Ceramic Coating

Since the STEK DYNOpurple already has a ceramic coating applied during the manufacturing process, there was no need to add this as an additional service for our Tesla Model 3 client. Ceramic coating is a very good idea if you always hand wash your vehicle. This said, if taking your vehicle through drive through car washes or funds, have you focusing on the choice of clear bra or ceramic coating, we would always suggest do the paint protection film first and foremost. The reason for this is the ceramic coating may last 2 years or more vs the PPF lasting upwards of 10 years or more, with a full 10-year warranty through Xpel and a lifetime warranty on the installation through Seattle ClearBra.

Xpel PRIME XR Window Tinting

Seattle ClearBra offers quality window tinting services using Xpel PRIME XR tint from Xpel. This is a lifetime warranty Nano ceramic series of window tint, designed to reject infrared heat up to 88%. We also offer a standard carbon series automotive window tint called Xpel PRIME CS. In addition, we offer a top performance infrared heat rejecting window tint Xpel PRIME XR PLUS.

Options range from 70% VLT to 5% VLT with the higher number being the lighter film and lower number being the darker. VLT stands for Visual Light Transmission. 5% is known as limo tint in the window tint industry and the higher 70% film is virtually see through. The 70% is generally used on front windshield as it does very little to change the look of the window or limit the view from in or outside of the windows where applied.

70% VLT is legal in Washington State for the front windshield and about 24% is the legal limit for the front side windows.

VLT Percentages Offered by Seattle ClearBra at our Redmond Washington Shop:

• 70% – Has a very slight tint and almost unnoticeable. Used on front windshields to keep it legal or if you don’t want a tinted look but want the infrared and UV rejection offered by a Nano ceramic tint
• 55% – Is a bit of a tint and very easy to see in and out regardless of day or night
• 30% – Legal for the front side windows and getting towards the darker side
• 20% – Closely matches factory OEM tinted privacy glass that comes on the rear windows of vehicles 
• 15% – Not legal on front side windows or windshield and is getting pretty dark
• 5% – This is referred to as limo tint and very hard to see in, and difficult to see out at night when no lights around
