My dealer will have strict instructions not to do any pre-delivery cleaning. I want the plastic wrap still on the car. I'll remove, polish as needed and do a full buff and ceramic.

One added benefit of MIC top... nothing that I need to detail is too high for me to reach!
Same... But never did a ceramic coat before. I'm fulling versed in polishing though... Rotary, orbital, a wack of pads and polished...
I DEFINITELY don't want the typical sercice wash on my new truck... You know, the 1 sudless bucket, full of grit and a push broom for scrubbing...? šŸ˜±šŸ˜±šŸ˜±

Iā€™m afraid to do ā€œreal ceramicā€ at home, the little bottle of liquid. If you screw it up itā€™s a bitch to fix. Iā€™ve been using Chemical Guys HydroSlick followed by HydroCharge with great results. Doesnā€™t last as long but much easier to work with.

Yeah Iā€™m tempted to do the ceramic myself after the ppf but not sure yet, I also have a big bottle of Gyeon wet coatā€¦ I mean when Iā€™m not driving it it will be in shop so doubt Iā€™d have to do much to keep it up.

I am a detailer by trade, first thing I will do

I purchased the R1 ceramic sealant, now I am just waiting on my bronco. This will be the first vehicle I am using the ceramic coating on, and spent the extra money on R1 after experimenting with lower priced brands at Walmart. The restoration shop that did a vehicle for my dad highly recommended R1.

Yeah... It's like it has to stay "wet" for so long before removing it or something. Too long and you're f'd...?
I gotta do more research on it.
I'm definitely not paying hundreds to have someone else do it!

more than hundreds usually for multiple coats that supposedly last up to 5 years. I had my STi coated and itā€™s a game changer. Always looks wet and nothing sticks to it. The only issue Iā€™ve had is it will still get water spots if it gets hit by sprinklers.

I use hybrid solutions ceramic by turtle wax. I'm very impressed with it.

I already have my ceramic kit ready to go. This will be the first vehicle I have done, let me know how it goes and your feedback. Sounds like itā€™s a necessity!

I had my Badlands professionally ceramic coated. They did a great job, even the wheels. Yeah, its a little pricey but well worth it in the long run. Makes it a breeze to keep clean.
