TST Teflon Protectant

bsimpson145 · 12-15-2009, 02:35 PM

I purchased a GMC Yukon and the dealer said that there will be a TST 5000 teflon protectant applied to the paint. http://www.tst5k.com/index.html Does anyone know anything about this product/process? They said that I won't have to wax the vehicle but if I do, the wax will be very hard to remove. I don't know much about this TST stuff other than what's on their website. I can still probably cancel the TST application and tell them just to buff/polish the Yukon. What does anyone think?

Thanks,
Brad

I would cancel and tell them to NOT touch the paint on my new car. Even a BRAND NEW car needs to be clay barred before you even wax it. I dont even like clear bras tho so I will just wax every 6 washes to keep my paint protected.

I personally would tell them not to apply the TST. I wouldn't want them to touch it ,they usually just scratch your car.

I would want to do the buffing, waxing myself.

Wax will not protect the front of your car the same way a clear bra will.

The dealer said that they give the vehicle an acid bath to remove all contaminants and wax that's existing on the vehicle. I dunno what's better for the car??????

Ya but I've never seen a clear bra I couldent tell was there withen like 10 seconds in person so screw them. I'll just spent the grand they cost around here to repaint my front clip 2-3 times in the time I own the car.

Dealer Applied Protection = Added Dealer Markup.

Cancel it immediately if possible!

Sounds like you see the stereo shop install. My cars have the clear bra installed by a professional. You will not, and cannot tell they are there until you run your fingernail along the paint looking for them.
