STOUT vs STEK Final Coat — which one for which job
| Scenario | Product | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Paint-only ceramic, factory gloss | P&S STOUT | Highest standalone durability (5 yr), 107° contact angle. Default for paint-only. |
| Matte / satin / wrapped vehicle | STEK Final Coat | Final Coat explicitly compatible with matte; STOUT doesn't list matte explicitly. |
| Customer also getting STEK PPF | STEK Final Coat (add-on) | Bonds at a molecular level with STEK PPF, extends warranty 10→12 yr. |
| Full STEK ecosystem end-to-end | STEK Final Coat | Brand-consistent finish, gloss angle matches STEK PPF. |
| Longest single-product warranty on paint | P&S STOUT | 5 yr vs Final Coat's 3-yr manufacturer warranty (5 yr if maintained). |
Cure + customer handoff
- Don't drive in the first 3 hours of completion (coating still curing).
- No first wash for 2 days after pickup.
- Avoid rain in the first 12 hours if possible — water before the coating fully sets can leave streaks.
- After cure: full warranty + hydrophobic performance active.
Maintenance (Innovo's recommendation)
Treat like any pro ceramic. Hand wash with pH-neutral soap. Two-bucket method. Microfiber towels. No automatic brush car washes (they scrub the coating off over time). Optional SiO₂ spray sealant every 6-12 months extends gloss and hydrophobic life. See the ceramic-coating maintenance guide for the full routine.
