Got to clay and apply ceramic to the alto blue

[kcamp317]

It is many colors in one, depending on lighting. You will love it.

Yea, I like colors like that....Especially with metallics in them. My wife's 2020 Escape is the dark Persian green....it is similar. In different light when its clean it is blue, green, all kinda of different shades. Really attractive color. Glad I chose the Alto blue for the maverick order.

I really love the alto blue color!! I ordered the cactus green but debated multiple times if I should switch to the alto blue. Ultimately it came down to the fact that scratches and other stuff like that are more noticeable on a darker color. Congrats

I gotta ask what tires you got on there, look great.

this is the exact package I purchased. Enough to do plastic and every thing. Excellent instructional video. Just take your time in the shade.

Thanks, beat myself up with all kinds of PPF scenarios of buying a roll etc and now have decided that the R1 Clear coat seems to be the most value approach in line of a value truck as the Maverick.

Did as if the Prep surface cleaner strips of the clear coat finish. Also order my truck with a upcharge metallic coat paint color, just Hot Red Pepper. Perhaps delivery between August and November as order Oct 25th but 2 days to get into ROVP.

If the 30ml bottle is enough to cover the truck will order the 50ml bottle and do the hood of my wife's care as well. There is a WELCOME15 code so will order the 80ml size and do both the druck and her 2019 RAV4.

Update: Ordered the 80ml bottle. Wife says she doe not want me to do her car so could do it to my trade-in or just wait her out. May not have the truck for 6-9 months but the WELCOME15 worked on top of the sitewide 10% sale that ends today with a free waterless pack that lists for $33.95 for having an order over $175 with free shipping.

Your truck looks amazing! You’ve convinced me to do this, I have a few questions.
1. What clay & spray did you use?
2. Did you use a decontamination product prior to the clay?
3. In what order?
Thank you in advance!

Clayed and applied ceramic to my truck today. Man what a difference. Ceramic is so easy to apply. I Used R-1 The clods are the reflection from my hood.

Please update us on how the coating looks this fall and how the Revive looks after 6 months and then with a new coat. Claying sounds like the stuff will not stick, but thought that was the point of the Prep. Never used this stuff or had it done so please excuse my ignorance if I sound ridiculous.

It is also my hope that when driving in tight spots as narrow roads that this will ward off those overgrown brush scraps from the side of the truck.

My wife is ripping mad, but like the way your truck looks so much, just called the dealer. John Donnelly seemed to know his stuff and will have the change made tomorrow From HRP to Alto Blue. Will change my signature later.

FYI, my order from R1 coatings arrive but it came frozen. So put a ticket in with them and they said " Yes the product it still good after freezing. The chemical makeup does not change so once the product thaws it will be good to use."

Nice! I'm still trying to figure all this out. My plan was to wash, apply iron remover, clay bar, then sealant. Then I was going to spray wax it each wash after before applying sealant again in about 6 months. Now I am hearing lots of good things about the ceramic sprays.

So many things to consider...

I went with the ceramic spray. Fairly easy to apply and NOTHING sticks to your paint. Unsure as to the longevity vs. wax, but definitely shinier. Here's the brand I used as recommended by a pal who tried a bunch of different ones.

Did U claybar just the hood or the whole truck, Same question with the ceramic coating

I just discovered you can clean clay bar by flattening it out and using dishwater soap and water, comes out white and like new. Your Maverick looks super.

I have had clay barred our last 4 cars, as well as Ceramic, coated them, which makes a HUGE difference in the appearance of the car. My Maverick I'll be picking up on March 20th (fingers crossed) and on Monday, I'm getting the paint taken care of as well as tint.

Clayed and coated the entire truck. Thank you all for the compliments. Really means a lot to me.
