Ceramic coating done and a few good pics

[BKB5]

Just picked my truck up from having it ceramic coated and black PPF installed on the front bumper to save it from rock chips. A good friend of mine owns the detail shop and does a fantastic job. While it was there they stuck it in the photo booth so I thought I'd share. Have a great weekend everyone!

Yours looks killer too! I use all Adams products and was going to do the Graphene myself. However, my friend that owns the detail shop did such a great job on my previous Trail Boss that I decided to let him do this one too. Plus, he could do the paint protective film on the front bumper and lower grill area which I couldn't do. He used Aquatek Coatings and highly recommended it over the others. My Trail Boss I traded on this was 4 years old and the coating was still like the day he applied it. Is that an AVS hood protector on your truck? I'm thinking about putting one on mine but would really like it to be gloss black to match.

Not sure exactly which one it is, it was already on when I got the truck. Here’s a pic though.

Ceramic is the shit. Got my truck done and my wife’s suburban. Worth every penny.

It's actually not hard at all to DIY a ceramic coating. There are many excellent products that can be had for <$100 a bottle.

Trucks look great!! I did my own on my 1500 ZR2. I also do my wife's cars. Lol, but I'm seriously considering just taking the HD somewhere and letting them do it. It's so big and tall, I haven't decided if I want to tackle it myself yet

DIY’ers - what products are you guys using? I’ve used the Turtle Wax “hybrid” ceramic and while it seems decent protection and really easy to apply, curious on other products - longevity, application, etc.

I am motivated

I use the 303 Glycene. I may have spelled this in correctly? Anyway it worked great!

I think the 2500 HD looks better than the 1500. usually the half tons look better.

That Turtle Wax Hybrid works petty well. Project Farm tested it as one of the best on YouTube and he's quite the authority!

How much did it set you back for the coating?

 

[MNNJR69]

Had mine done with Cilajet aviation ceramic...

rwBooks, I’ve seen prices range from $500 to $1,500 depending on the shop and the product they use. Mine was on the higher side but that included the paint protective film on the front bumper and lower grille trim piece, Aquapel coating on the windows, and the ceramic coating on the wheels. Well worth it to me after I saw how good it was on my Trail Boss.
