Ford Maverick After Ceramic Coating

[MightyMaverick]

As of this morning, I picked up my Ford Maverick Lariat from an appointment at my local detailer to ceramic coat it for me. Let me just say I could not be happier with the results. It literally looks and feels like glass. It doesn't even feel like I'm touching paint anymore rather it feels like touching a window. It looks better than new. I figured since I'm keeping this vehicle, it's well worth the investment. It's reassuring knowing that my vehicle is well-protected for the long-run. All I have to do is maintenance washes and spray it with quick detailer. I never have to hand-wax it ever again. For anyone that hasn't had this done to their own Maverick and intend on keeping it (not reselling it for a quick buck), you should definitely have this done. You will not regret it.

Looks great!!! I went with a Graphene coating a few weeks ago and was equally impressed with the outcome. Reflections for DAYS

I got mine ceramic coated right after delivery. First time that I ever had it done. I love it and highly recommend.

What does something like that cost?

What does something like that cost?

For me, it cost me $750. Not bad considering many other sources are $1000 or more.

Oh that's well worth it! Looks absolutely awesome

A friend of mine does this at his business, so I'll be taking mine to him when I get my truck. Hopefully he's not retired by then.

Thanks for posting this. Please educate me on this.... it is a paint protection? What are the benefits? I have seen some threads mentioning it but never looked into it.

One thing I decided was that I was going to get the paint protection film. We had it added to my wife's car but I decided not to for mine and wow what a difference. Of course I drive about twice as much as she does but I for sure will be getting something on my next considering I am keeping them longer than ever now

To answer your questions, it is a paint protection. Think of it as a clear film around the whole vehicle that you can't see. It's like having a clear bra installed on the whole car with the added benefit of no ugly seems where the clear bra stops. Also, it is extremely water repellent. Instead of the water curtaining or just sitting on the paint, it will bead and repel right off of it which makes maintenance a breeze. Speaking of which, bug guts or road grime will also repel right off and not stick to the paint. It is well worth the investment if you want to keep your vehicle protected for the long run.

I highly recommend cquartzuk 3.0 as a ceramic coating. And you can DIY it really isn't that hard. Only costs about $70. Usually the hardest part of ceramic coating is the paint correcting needed before the actual coating is applied. New cars generally need less paint correction.

I plan on doing mine when it cools off a little. All you do is apply, let it flash, then wipe off. Super easy, just tedious because you have to work in 2ftx2ft sections.

That was the main reason why I would rather have a professional do it. It's too tedious and I didn't want to risk butchering it. Plus, I don't have the proper working conditions as I park my vehicle outside and under an oak tree, as seen in the background of the main photo.

Yeah it can be worth it to have someone else do it. I keep going back and forth on that idea
