Paint was over a month old, so time for ceramic coat.

Sanded & buffed, flat, and like glass.

System X Diamond (lifetime) Ceramic coating.

The ceramic coating is amazing.

A light coat of dust will barely stick, dirt doesn't stand a chance.

I have had the truck outside for 8 hours a day for almost 2 weeks, it has accumulated a very light coating of dust.

I gave it a light spray of water, and then blasted it dry with my leaf blower.

My touchless 2 minute car wash, looks like a fine hand wash.

The detail shop said to only use a 25% alcohol and 75% distilled water solution in an old spray bottle, as a detail spray, in between washes.

If I ever need a more thorough wash, he recommended DAWN dish water soap and water.

I had avoided dish soap as a car wash in the past, as I know it will remove all waxes, but he said the DAWN will have NO effect on the ceramic.

He also said no need for a chamois, just use your leaf blower instead.

If I perfer to manually dry, he recommends a quality mictrofiber towel, but 95% of the rinse water just rolls off.

So far so good.
