Gloss Black Interior Trim Protection and Wrap

5713 Views 20 Replies 11 Participants Last post by  BucksB
So it’s been only a day since I got my Tucson Essential and I can already start to see some minor scratches and swirls on my gloss black infotainment.

Are there any good screen protectors or films that cover the entire infotainment that prevent any scratches or possibly if I can possibly clear wrap my infotainment.
Lastly, can I polish my gloss black trim at a later date to bring it back to the new/mint condition?

Any advice, comments or help would be greatly appreciated

I haven't seen anything that covers the entire system. I do know Amazon sells covers for the glass/plastic touch areas.
I was a little concerned about the piano black but it hasn't been a problem for me at all. I keep a microfiber cloth in the center console and it wipes up smudges and dust pretty easily. No problem with scratches yet.

Same here, it works well and have had zero scratches so far.

I had a screen protector made custom from this place in the states and had it shipped to Canada. It cost 60 bucks or so and took a couple weeks to get. It looks like it going to work perfectly. I have not installed it yet since the dealer might be replacing my touch controls because it had scratches when I got it. The Scratches are on the bottom left. The picture with a screen protector is not my car but it’s similar to the one I had made. I did gloss so it would blend better and it’s a bit shorter so it did not roll up at the bottom. I also have the corners rounded.

can you post the link for the protector? also, did you have to do the measurements yourself?

also, can you post the exact measurements you did so those of us who have a Tucson can purchase the same item......

Do you have the company's name or where you got this at? I had found a website that does modular skins you can place over the various areas but I have yet to see one as you had posted. The ones I found I'll link below, are still quite impressive and would be an upgrade but I am liking the one that you had posted more.

I saw the colors, but did you get the vinyl in clear? i only saw colors. Also, did you purchase the solution for the kit?

I was curious about this as well but I did a bit of research and came across the company linked below. It is a much more all-in-one solution and covers the entire screen, climate controls, and infotainment center. Mine should come in tomorrow so once it's installed I'll post a picture. Also linked below is their Instagram page which has tons of examples of their work on other cars. This is probably the best company I've come across that offers something like this.

This kit I'm still debating getting. I did order the full screen protector that covers the infotainment/ climate system (from Screen Protech). I keep going back and forth on the gear shifter area because the black gloss does look really good... just not when dirty. I might try to find a really cheap matte black or even another glossy one to try out to see how it looks vs. the OEM gloss. I think either way it'd be better though as it would protect against the wear and tear. The kit appeals to me though as it also includes the door's glossy areas as well, which will get very, very dirty and worn over time.

Hey I finally had some time to get it installed today! It turned out pretty well! The top section where the emergency blinker is was a bit tough yo get lined up but all in all turned out good. I opted for the 2-pack just in case I messed up also. Didn’t need to use the second one luckily but good to have one on hand. Super easy to install just spray the heck out of it so that it’s movable once on the area.

Do you find any visibility issues with the protectors, i.e. more reflection?

Are there any good screen protectors or films that cover the entire infotainment that prevent any scratches or possibly if I can possibly clear wrap my infotainment.

Having worked with acrylics, polycarbonates and the like in the glass business since '74, you have to be very careful what products you use. If you use the wrong product you'll destroy the screen which will be very costly. You cannot just replace the screen as it is an integral part of the unit. That being said, what we used in our business was this product which I believe is far superior to any other and is available on Amazon. It's $10.23 for an 8oz bottle if you have Prime.

Hi @KingCainus, I'm not sure if you are still on these forums or not. But if you are, I'm curious how your Screen Protech has been holding up over this last year? I'm thinking about ordering the same thing.
I always use Screen ProTech on my new cars. Had one on my Tacoma and it worked flawlessly. Bought my Tucson a couple of days ago and I already have my Screen ProTech on the way. Makes a big difference and no question, will help with all the fingerprints and smudges.
Thanks for the feedback BucksB. I think I'll order one today.
