Sounds good. I will probably use my ol black Tundra as a guinea pig.

Question about the wax and/or sealant: shouldn't you let the paint cure a little while longer before sealing?

I am looking at X-pel also, wondering what it will do to the mat stripes?
I don't want to turn them to a gloss.

I am thinking about a CQuartz application and Xpel on some of the vital areas..

My car was produced and was sitting at FRAP since 7/29... no concerns from my end. Plus she was begging for an in & out detail. :D

Did you order matte stripes or is that a dealer-installed item? Would be interested in looking at them.

I envy you guys. I love the freshly detailed look, but have no patience for doing it. I just want to go driving.

I'm thinking of doing some paint protection film. What brand is the best?

3m and spell are the best
The installer makes the big difference. Needs lots of practice and be around when some minor repair needs to be done

Having the bumper, mirrors and headlights covered tomorrow with 3M Pro. That's in until I install the roll bar next Spring. She'll be resting in the garage during the Winter.....if it ever gets here in the NE!

You don’t want to know

During the last 10 years, I've tried 3M, Xpel and one other brand I can't even remember the name of. (Durashield?) By far, Xpel was the best - thinner, no edge-lifting or discoloration, self-healing and a lifetime warranty. And drainey is right - the quality of the installer makes all the difference. Look for one that does the installations fulltime, has the computerized cutter with the program for the GT 350 and is also not afraid to hand-cut and fit the material for any custom application you have in mind. Add a strip above the windshield to whatever else you're planning; that area takes a lot of abuse. If you're going to be in and out of the trunk a lot, put a strip across the top of the rear bumper too.

Mine is an R, my colour is black, with mat black stripes.
I want to retain the look. Not sure what X-pel will do to the stripes.

But how did you get matte stripes? Is that an option on the R? I thought they got the same gloss stripes as the non-R.
