Congratulations, @SoccerMan9404!
I STEKed my TS in January 2022 >>Love it.
My shop, Elite Motors in Concord, CA, ran my fresh-off-the boat TS through the same prep-and application process you experienced. You'll love washing your PPFd car
I use a leaf blower to dry it off. The advantage of STEK hydrophobic PPF over Expel and other that are not hydrophobic.
I recommend a bottle of STEK Finish 16 to keep that hydrophobic surface shedding water.

I did front PPF and full ceramic coating on my car last month, today they added PPF to the screens and the display, and ceramic window tint to the windshield to block heat rays.

I'm almost all Stek for years due to clarity and quality. I tell everyone to use 10mil when possible for the front impact section.Congratulations, @SoccerMan9404!

The Stek ceramic layer will fade after around 8 months so adding that UV protection is crucial.
I'm about to reapply the the annual ceramic coating for maximum protection
