I'm amazed how good ceramic pro works!

I had my truck coated with Ceramic Pro last fall. So far to clean it, I was doing the foam cannon wash, and dry with a micro fiber towel and detail. Since it's winter and a high of 30 now, and the truck was pretty crappy looking, I took it to the local self service wash. I ran clear water through the gun for a minute and sprayed the truck off with just clear water, making sure I kept 3 or 4 feet away from the truck so I didn't blast it too hard. When I was done, I drove 70 for a few minutes, than came home and toweled off the windows. It looks like I was out there for hours cleaning it, instead of just a few minutes! Very impressed and happy with that kind of performance.

The hell with being outside in the winter handwashing if I don't have to.

I love the ease of washing after I had Ceramic Pro do my truck! I think it stays looking good longer too.

Want to get a cordless leaf blower. If I do the highway drying method, the truck will have a sheet of ice on it.

Ive always wondered why someone doesnt invent something to put in garage opening that hooks into backpack blower to mimic the car wash exit blowers... at least help

I like the OEM backspacing, and was happy with the oem look once I got them powder coated. The way the sun is hitting them, they look stock in the picture above. One of the few wheels I liked were the Alphaequipt Delta, I was going to get them if I wasn't happy with how my wheels came out.

I noticed that too. I could drive through a rain storm and if anything, it comes out a little cleaner.

It made it into the mid 30's, so just warm enough it didn't ice up on me. I have a corded Toro I got a few months back, works nice, only $42.

Today was about 20. We got an amazing indoor spray car wash here. Otherwise the open bays are kinda cold.

I really debated about getting my truck ceramic coated...so far I am glad I did! I just run through a no-touch wash (real one - spray only, no brushes) and it looks great.

100% agree regarding OEM wheel sizing and appearance, although I prefer mine shiny.
I spent a LOT of time researching, and there are very few options in at least close-to-OEM offset.
None of which I like the appearance enough over stock wheels to purchase.
I did find that AMP would custom fabricate forged wheels in great designs in an OEM size.
But I have not yet bitten that $$$ bullet.

I have been ceramic coating with Adams Graphine lately.
On painted surfaces that get polished, I use the annual spray version.
On surfaces that will not be polished (grill, shutters, trim, etc), I use the real-deal liquid.
I don't really know how well it works yet though.
