I ceramic coated my Ram

[RomansRam]

So I’m a detail freak and have a pretty decent supply of detailing products. I wouldn’t say I’m a professional but I think I can hold my own . I have been toying with the idea of ceramic coating my ram since I got it and finally decided to do it on my own. Now I want to be very clear I don’t drive this truck often as I do have a Durango R/T lease that still has time on it left. With that being said the Rams paint was in great shape no swirl marks or stains so prep wasn’t terrible just tedious! I went with the Adams polishes ceramic coating it’s a 9H protection that last up to 5 years. I wouldn’t put too much faith in that claim but hey only time will tell. This was a long process, very long and I wouldn’t recommend doing it alone as another set of eyes would be beneficial. Also I would recommend getting a UV light so you can see where you applied too much product and avoid “high spots” as they will be harder to buff out! I will post pictures from
My iPhone max pro nothing crazy I do have a cannon 6D Mark II that I plan on shooting the truck with just don’t really have much time! Anyways if you have any questions please feel free to ask !! Here are 2 un edited shots! The first one is 6 days after coating second one is just a test Panel I started off drivers front fender and corner of the hood.

Looks fantastic, man. Lots of tlc always makes that black pop out unlike any other color. I imagine that it took you over a span of a few days to complete the whole process? What are your plans on maintaining the ceramic coat? I know there are some reload products but I was curious what you are planning.

There is a “ceramic boost” that comes with this kit. As far as maintaining,I’ll prob just do the normal washes I do with my pressure washer and foam cannon. I will apply the boost coating after every other wash and see how well it holds up.

It’s actually super easy to do. You apply it Like was. Wait until it flashes then wipe it off

yep I agree, not cheap. He clayed, fixed couple scratches, and coated all plastic and windows. Still expensive but I’m happy

Well if he did all that then thats average price I think. I like to do all that stuff myself to save the dough.
