What brand of ceramic coating for the Gen3

I would have a pro do it. Gtecniq is a popular and reliable brand.

I used Wolfgang Uber Ceramic on my 2018 and have more of it awaiting my 2021's arrival.

I took my time. To clean the truck inside and out and do the full detail with ceramic coating took about 16 hours. Good prep is the key. Also, keep your hands off the truck after you do the alcohol wipe down. Also, don't touch the truck while you're coating. If you know where to look on my truck, you can see two different hand prints. No one has ever noticed other than me, but I know they're there.

The next owner may get to discover them, too.

How long does ceramic coating last on a vehicle?

I had Ceramic Pro put on my '20 when it was new. Don't underestimate doing the paint correction before hand. I think that's at least as important, maybe more so, as the ceramic application. My paint looked great as delivered, it was a factory order. When the shop finished the paint correction, it was a night and day improvement in depth of shine and finish. When I stopped in the shop to check on the progress, it looked so much better I assumed the process was all done. The one tech laughed and told me they hadn't even put the ceramic on yet.

I’ve had it professionally done on my last two vehicles (gen 2 included). I’m not ceramic coating my gen 3 - instead going to do clear bra / PPF on key areas. Much rather protect against scratches than just ease of cleaning.
