    Congratulations! Welcome to TW!

    This community has a lot of really helplful members, and a few shit stirrers, but a good time is had by all. A word of advice: take the negative posts with a grain of salt. Some folks come on TW, read about problems, and begin to expect they’ll have them too. Not necessarily so.
    Enjoy your truck!

    When I bought it the dealer offered a product that protects the paint. I declined, but would like to know what that product is. Does anyone know what it is? Can it be bought over the counter?

    There’s this ceramic coating that comes up frequently. Several threads about it. I think he general consensus was a detailing shop would be better than the stealership. I’d start searching for this ceramic coating stuff. Good luck and welcome to TW OP

    As mentioned, ceramic coating. Take it to a detailer. They'll remove micro scratches that are already on the car and any paint surface contamination then apply a ceramic coating on a clean paint surface. U'll never have to really wax again for the life of the coating if you so choose. Great stuff. I'm thinking of doing it to mine soon but I just spent a good chunk of change on a half front clear bra.
