All right you guys have convinced me so I just ordered the Cerakote. I need to either apply trim dressing or this so this it is. I sure wish doing detail work was as easy as ordering products. I don’t know how many waxes and coatings I have on the shelf but not much on the trucks dammit.:mad:

I try not to make eye contact with the row of waxes and detailing products as I walk by that section of my garage.

But with that said my ceracote plastic wipes should be here Wednesday.

my truck took me maybe 20 minutes and 4 packets. you literally just wipe it on. and its all glossy as you wipe. cant miss where you've already been with the wipe. im pretty amazed how good it looks instantly.
I thought you had to be super careful to get all other products off, or it would leave a mismatched (semi-permanent) finish ? You didn’t clean with alcohol, etc...? This is probably my biggest concern, since I regularly apply VRP to my rig. Don’t want to have a bunch of lighter spots or something..!

Looking good! I still need to get mine applied! Never have the time to properly clean all the plastics..!

2nd that. It’s been in my Amazon cart for a couple weeks. Going to go ahead and order also. Tired of using Tire dressing that lasts until it rains.

This was my concern also. Didn’t someone post they used Dawn to “degrease” everything first, let dry, then apply.

I was going to do dawn a fee times then 90% iso alcohol...but I will prob read the instructions first. Definitely going to wear gloves, I don't know what that ceracoat stuff is but if it's as tough as they say I don't want it on my skin.

Thats part of the reason I built cabinets with sliding doors so I can hide all of it. I don’t need the guilt.:(

But it might make your skin ageless. You’ll never get old!:D

Polished the headlights, and half fixed the sun roof on my Esky.

Diagnosed the rear suspension problem, and door chime.

Debating if I want to replace with another set of Z55 suspension components, or go without. Either way, I need the air ride, don't really need the Magnaride or what ever is called.

You can go with Arnotts shocks that retain auto level but not magnetic damping for less that the OEM stuff and it has a lifetime warranty.
