Default Ceramic Coating

I got my new F150 ceramic coated Wednesday. Shop that coated it said not to get it wet for 24 hours. I drove it straight home and locked it in th garage. I need it tomorrow, but we have snow forecast for most of the day. Should I go ahead and take it out? Have any of you done this?

According to my mathmatical skills, taking it out tomorrow after having it coated on Wednesday, would indeed be longer than 24 hrs.

Hopefully an expert will come along and verify.

Wednesday evening to Thursday evening = 24 hours
Thursday to Friday = 24 hours
Friday evening to Saturday morning = 12 hours

Total time= Approx. 60 hours

Not sure I'd risk it....

Carpro Reload?
It takes about 2 weeks for the ceramic coating to cure. I guess I’m just a little apprehensive about anything getting on it.

You can get it wet after 24, but try not to let water sit on it for any length of time, nor wash it for a few weeks. Once cured you can do whatever you want with it!

The reload has components used in ceramic coating and helps prolong the coating. Its like a furniture polish, it helps keep it clean.
