Paint Coatings- Whose Got Em?
#3
I had my wife's Audi S4 coated with Gtechniq's pro applied product, it's amazing, water just falls off the car, and all winter I've been able to keep it looking great with the pressure wand only at the car wash. Road grime rinses off easily. Now that it's warming up, it will get treated to the weekly hand wash (foam cannon, chenille wash mitt, micro-fibre drying towel with Chemical Guys detail spray). It was fairly expensive, but I didn't want to attempt putting it on myself. They do have a do-it-yourself product though.
I just got my 2016 Lariat yesterday, so I'll head up to my detail guy's' shop tomorrow and see how much he's going to charge me to do the same on it! He's also given me info on washing/drying properly to avoid leaving swirl marks. Detailing can be a bit addictive!

When I got my truck the dealership did not touch it and I drove it to the best detail shop in Utah. There they did a full paint correction. Amazing brand new truck can have swirl marks and small scratches in the paint. After the paint was perfect they applied Modesta BC-05 paint coating. This coating has the most protection of any coating on the market. You can not apply this yourself. Modesta is very particular about the shops that can apply this. It is a lot of work and if done wrong the paint will look wavy.
The reason I went this route is I plan on keeping this truck for awhile and Modesta has a 10 year life.
Here is the truck when it came home after the work was done
Now I had Xpel PPF on the entire front end. With the Modesta and the paint protection film I'm set for the long haul.
