In process of picking up blacked out Laramie and have a question about ceramic. I lease the truck but very picky about how I keep my vehicles and like them always looking good. I swore to myself 15 years ago Id never get a black vehicle again. Would you spend the $ for ceramic if you do not own the truck? A guy I do business with said he would do the ceramic pro for 1000.00 and that its usually 1800. I see the do it yourself kits but I honestly don't have time for that. Please advise. Thanks
 
Does that price include a paint correction? The ceramic will only do so much, the paint needs to be perfect for it to really shine.

yes, he said so. but its a brand new truck.

Brand new means nothing, most trucks roll out of the factory with blemishes, and then the dealer inflicts more damage washing it. That said, I'd hope a detailer that installs ceramic knows this...
 
probably just needs one pass. $1000 isn't bad if this is a legit detailer and he is using a decent product.

You can also do a liquid form for less than $75 and coat it well once and just do maint/boost washes going forward.

Yep. My last SRT the dealer swirled so bad it was disgusting. I specifically told them to be extra careful and it looked like they washed it with steel wool.
 
Yup, mine was a showroom model and it has a bunch of light swirls from the constant "detailing " they gave it.
