What did you do to your Ram today???

Interesting results, I use Reload every 6 months or so to keep up the shine and beading and it seems to work. I never tried waxing after the ceramic coating so can't respond to those results. I guess I don't know what it means to have the ceramic coat fail, I would assume it means forieng materials like road tar, bugs, paint over spray, minor scratches damaging the color coat through the ceramic coating and clear coating all sticking or failing to provide any level of protection better than just wax????

How did you folks determine it stopped working, engineering mind wanting to understand?

You can tell when it's stopped working when the water during a wash stops beading/sheeting the way that it was prior.

Nothing major but did an oil change at 64k. I'm averaging about 6500 miles between oil changes. Attempted to do my transmission service with the blauparts kit. Got under the truck and was very irritated at the engineering decisions. The blauparts video guide makes it look very simple. After fighting with the fill plug and realizing I'm probably missing a tool or two to make it worth my time I called a local transmission shop that seemed to be highly rated. They quoted me $150 to complete the service. So I scheduled that service and picked my truck up yesterday. So far so good! Wish I would've called sooner. Probably would've done the service at 60k.

I bought a full Crutchfield spec'd kit of 6 JBL speakers, the connectors, bass blockers for the tweeters, and interior panel tools. When I get a free Saturday I'm going to finally upgrade the scratchy blown tweeters and put nicer speakers in the 4 doors. The 6 speaker base stereo on my Bighorn is loud enough and I'm not in need of 1.21 Gigawatts of sound with subs, but the stock speakers are crap and 5 trips to the dealership to figure out the distortion yielded no resolution (the guys at the Dade City, FL dealership are morons). It wasn't until coming on here that I learned what the issue was.

I'm excited to have clearer sound for music and podcasts!

Finally upgraded from my Blazer (4 gang) wireless auxiliary panel to an RGB (RA60) Auxbeam (6 gang)

I paired the Auxbeam remote with Flipit3d’s bezel and freaking love how it looks! Overall happy with the mod and will enjoy the added features of strobe, monetary, and constant on.

What did you use to mount the Auxbeam next to the fuse box?

The provided hardware/bracket that came in the kit.

Stop using the reload and you'll likely see that yours has failed early as well. Water will stop beading and sheeting off when its failed, you won't likely notice a reduction in shine but when you wash it, you'll notice that the water doesn't behave as it did on a coated surface. The reload is masking the ceramic coat having failed.

Interesting, now I wonder how one removes the ceramic coating???

Just thought I’d share this. These all seem to be great alternatives to a true ceramic coating I think I’m going to try the carpet lite in the spring!
