Piano black climate control: how will you protect it?

[Eryx]

Has anyone tried this brand? Seems like they are unique in that they do a "wet" install for the product. I'm thinking about buying this kit and having my ppf installers put it on.

Interesting let us know it goes!

I just bought the smallest set to include the climate controls. And got the Insurance to provide a second set!

Based on the instructions given, I'm surprised they didn't mention latex-type gloves, as a detailer would use, to avoid fingerprints.

There are discount codes available via google search to pay a little less too.

About to buy it - are there discount codes better than the one they are offering on their front page for 10% off?

 

[craz8]

I got a 10% off one, didn't look too hard! They seem to spend time on various forums and provide codes to those car forums.

 

[Eryx]

Ya 10% works haha.
Which set did you get? I'm about to order this one I think:

I ordered the 3 piece one. I only really want the climate part - it's the one that is most likely to get damaged with our usage, and it reflects, so the Anti Glare option is key.

 

[Eryx]

Ah nice. I have the passenger display so wanted to try the anti-glare ones for the infotainment, and the passenger display too. Don't care about the driver display.

 

[craz8]

The heat from the passenger screen worries me when it comes to covering it up. And the removal instructions for this include heating it up, which might reduce the life of the protection

 

[Eryx]

Oh interesting point. Not too worried tho - I'm getting the extra insurance set too haha. I'm hoping these last for quite awhile though.

has anyone else had any luck doing something similar to this in the US?

I’ve gone to 3 different PPF installers who have all told me they won’t touch it because they don’t want to damage anything even after showing them these pictures!

this one turned out awesome. Would love to get it replicated

I had my whole car done in PPF in an out.

Including all piano black inside (doors, front and back climate control).

My installer had me sign a waiver they would not be responsible for water damage.
They were incredibly nice and told me they are almost certain nothing will happen, but they need me to acknowledge the risk.

Mine is glossy and no damage to the electronics.

Neither my wife nor I wear rings and have not yet created a single scratch on it. As far as cleaning the dust and fingerprints, we have found distilled watch and a clean microfiber with gentle pressure to work excellently.

In my view, if they are good quality, the Matt screen protectors actually look better than shiny glossy screens.
And no reflections, or finger smudges, either.

 

[Eryx]

Ya I'm getting them more for aesthetics vs protection as I'm not a fan of the glossy look.

THIS is the definitive answer. Just a bit of care is all it takes. Just traded in a 2021 911 with plenty of piano black trim - no damage, no scratches, cleaned with a damp microfiber towel only.
