The first pic is a stop at a great BBQ joint on old Route 66 In Oklahoma heading home from the dealer.

Second photo is safely tucked in the garage under the sweet glow of a neon beer sign!

Here is mine. Picked up a 2020 two weeks ago. Just rolled 650 miles. So far front windows tinted to match and ALLA Led bulbs on all fronts. AND... she fits in the garage

SO CLEEEEEAN!!! Congratulations!

@Paul M
Well done! Glad you got squared away and its safe at home. One day I'll have a garage again... The struggles of living in old cities...

New to me 2019 Expedition Max Limited. Did a ton of research and picked up this former rental car. Had it 2 weeks and already went camping and off road and we love it.

I see a few post about paint correction and ceramic coat all kinds of numbers $$$

I just want to ask who has kept a ceramic coated car paid all that money and kept a car 20+ years as a daily driver can I see pictures to see if it actually made a difference?

I hear you about old cities. My house was built in 1910 and historic district won’t allow a garage to be built/added to the property. Although neighbors have ones, they say that they are “original” to the house and are allowed.

They really don’t after 5-7 years unless you REALLY take care of it. You’ll still get scratches, and dents, and etched on bird shit, and water spots when you park next to that sprinkler that has chemicals in water to water the grass after the water beads baked into the paint, swirl marks, etc. you still get it all

If you’re spending $50-100k on a car [and really like your car to always look it’s best] and you’re worried about spending $1-3k for an initial ceramic/correction and then $500 for ceramic maintenance every 12 months you’re doing it wrong.

I get all of my new vehicles detailed, heavily wrapped and coated. I don’t even let the dealer wash it before I sign for it.

They all look new for the 2-5 years that I own them. Not a single spider web to be found. Ceramics aren’t magic force fields but they are materially harder, glossier and offer much higher etch/stain protection than traditional waxes. Maintain it properly and it will look new for your 20 year goal.

Since 2011
2011 Expedition
2013 King Ranch Expedition
2015 Limited Expedition
2017 Tahoe Premier
2019 Expedition

Mine look pretty new when I get rid of them

If your doing the same every 2-5 years the only one that benefits is the next owner.
