Schuyler (Skylar) Ricketts works on every car himself, in a studio built for paint: hexagon lighting, digital paint gauges and infrared curing.
Why the Cybertruck is different
Most vehicles have paint and a clear coat that can be polished when they get scratched. The Cybertruck does not. Tesla's owner's manual says its stainless steel panels have no clear coat, so any scratch is in the steel itself. The manual also notes that the steel will change slightly in color and reflection as it ages.
What PPF does on stainless steel
Clear paint protection film works the same way on steel as on paint. It takes the scuffs, scratches and road debris so the panel underneath does not. That matters more on a Cybertruck, because there is no clear coat to take the damage. Skylar will quote coverage, from high-impact areas to the full body.

Ceramic coating and care
A ceramic coating gives the steel and glass a slick surface that sheds water and makes grime easier to rinse off. Tesla's manual recommends a mild, pH-neutral car shampoo, drying with clean microfiber and skipping automatic car washes, and it warns that damage from the wrong cleaning products is not covered by warranty. Ask Skylar which coating fits your truck.
Questions
Does a Cybertruck need PPF?
It is not required, but film is the only option that adds a physical layer over the bare steel. Because the stainless panels have no clear coat, film is how owners guard against scratches, scuffs and debris. Call (209) 871-7060 to talk through coverage.
Can you ceramic coat a Cybertruck?
Yes. A ceramic coating can be applied to the stainless steel and the glass. It makes water bead and helps grime rinse off with a gentle wash. It does not stop scratches the way film does. Skylar will recommend the right setup for your truck.
What are the orange spots on my Cybertruck?
Tesla's owner's manual says orange or brown spots can appear on the stainless steel and that the truck is not rusting. It recommends removing contaminants like road salt, bird droppings and grease quickly. Skylar cleans the surface properly before any film or coating goes on.
How should I wash a Cybertruck?
Tesla's manual calls for a mild, pH-neutral car shampoo, clean microfiber cloths for drying and no automatic car washes. It warns against harsh, highly alkaline or acidic cleaners. A ceramic coating makes that gentle wash faster and easier.
