    Just for comparison, the full exterior detailing and graphene coat I got on mine from a local guy in my post above was $200 total.

    Using Griot's Garage ceramic spray wax, their ceramic speedshine, and the ceramic recharging soap. no it isnt pro full ceramic but, I haven't fully washed my truck since November, other than high pressure rinse and speedshine (no wash mitt). I just washed it yesterday, full wash, with mitt, still beads and shines like the day I treated it, almost a year ago. Very impressed, is an understatement. I tried the turtlewax ceramic, and wasnt impressed. it is nothing like the Griot's stuff. Ski

    Used Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic on mine a few weeks ago. It looked great but needs a wash now. Pollen still sticks pretty well then it rains on it and and turns into a paste

    The dealer originally wanted that to send my truck out for it. When I balked at the price, they came down. to 700. There's big profit to made by these guys doing it.

    This was after I picked her up from getting the ceramic coat. It’s been 1.5 yrs and the coating is holding up nicely.

    Just keep it maintained and it will hold up for several years. My 16 had it on for 7 years and when I traded it, it was still like new, but I kept up with it and took care of it.

    All these pics just look like my truck after any given wash.
    Love that solar octane though!
