Would like to cover up the piano black in my 2024 tech trim. Dont want to do it myself. Not really interested in why you like piano black to be honest. Just looking for recommendation for covering it up.
thanks
thanks

Took some for ya. Even the rear seat climate control modules are all wrapped in EXPEL Ultimate (cermatic coat included). Love the result. When finger prints, dust or drink splash, even uncontrolled spit splash (yes this does happen when we talk in cars and they land right on th trim). Ignore the white dots and streaks. These are drink splashes, which I need to clean up. It's been a while. The benefit of this route is that these PPF films are self-healing in case you cause a hairline scratch. Just remember to use a light liquid / damped towel and wipe lightly when dealing with stubborn stains. But most of the time, I keep a swiffer to gently go over everything to pick up dust to make it look new. If I need more, I keep a microfiber tower in the glove box for a gentle wipe from time to time. Do this one time, and your interior can look new as long as you keep this car. I forget how much I paid for this, but my Type-S Advance also had various piano black trims out side of the car. What did was:
1. Wrap the entire front end.
2. Wrap the rear lights
3. Follow the car around outside and wrap any and all black trims top to bottom, inlcuding the piano black wheel flares + bumpers (basically all black trims out side of he car (door / window areas too))
I love the contrast of my car (white + black piano black trims). But once I saw the car in person at the dealership, I took it straight to my wrapper and had him protect all areas where I know the scratches will show up easilyl.
The benefit to this is, you can take the car to any decent car wash places (zero touch & hand wipe places - no brushes), and have the peace mind that during their hand drying process, my trims will not scratch. Even if it does, it will self-heal. Same goes for inside as well. I used make sure that the car wash places never touch my interior. Now I just do the whole thing.
I've paid total of $4K for the whole thing I mentioned above. This is a 10-year+ car for me. The perfect car. I want this to last and looking new the for the whole 10 years. Ths may be a bit off topic but here is why this car is PERFECT (Type S / Advance package + Tow Hitch).
1. Utiity
2. Luxurious, and comparable to GLE & X series, ir not better in luxy & performance
3. Feature rich
4 ** Good Lane Centering without the nanny-eye trackers or capacitative touch steering wheel ** Self-driving is awesome on long freeway trips with 300grams of weight attached steering wheel (don't go higher, as it will pull the car).
