DIY ceramic coat + Alto Blue = a shiny truck

[Jman79]

Ceramic coated the Mav over the weekend.... came out really nice, but man, a lot of work. Did it myself. It is not an easy job, took a day and a half more or less…. 2 coats. To do it right, the prep is kinda brutal, props for dudes that do work like that for a living. But I saved about a grand. Still spent over $150 on everything, not including the future potential chiropractor visits! Not sure I’ll ever do it again. That said, we had it in an unclassified car show yesterday and the Mav had way more looks and questions than the 2024 Mustang GT Nite Pony behind us and the 1972 Road Runner in front of us. I should get a commission from Ford for how many potential customers I sent their way yesterday.

It's an amazing world we live in right now where a sensible truck is what is turning heads. Perhaps this is a sign that in a world where everything is sensationalized, people actually just want to dial it down. Here is to hoping it takes hold .

Insert rant about excess here

$20 and 5 minutes: looks good coming out of the automatic washer.

This is 5 days and 4 nights outdoors and 150 miles of road later. (Didn't take a photo day of which was even better.)

But the glass, there's an undesirable effect on the glass making me not want to go back to this location. Which is a bummer. It's less than 2 miles from home.

Hard to really photograph the glass.

You have to go through the car wash with the windows down, you won’t get the cloudy effect.

Looks good, especially the wheel/tire combo! What size brand wheel/ tire?
