I have another car as my daily driver and after getting the Ram 1500 Longhorn I have only been driving it on nice weather days. 6 months later I only have 3100 miles so I finally quit that nonsense and drove it. Now I can see the crazy water beading of the CarPro Quartz Ceramic coating I put on. 2020-03-31 17.09.54.jpg

Thats a nice beading!
You and I must be going for the “Least used RAM” award. Ours is 11 months old (4-24-19) with like 8600 miles.

Just hit 1800 on mine (8 months)


but I don't drive far enough to work, either. I get more mileage taking all the co-workers to lunch. (even enough room for the Big-Ol' Boy farmer to fit in the rig) LOL


That beading looks finominal! .. I'll have to show that photo to the detailer who did mine and ask why mine doesn't bead like that :)

1800 in 8 months and I thought I was doing good keeping the miles low. I just hit 2500 in 7 months, 350 of them was driving to swap for the sport hood so those were well worth it! I’ll need to look into getting some kind of ceramic coating as the black is tough to keep looking good.

I thought you were going to say that the rear window is leaking.

Not by choice. My previous job was 9 mile drive one-way (1/3 city .. 1/3 highway .. 1/3 stop-n-go). Now I'm like 1 mile round trip :( so I def. put more wear-and-tear on it :( LOL

Well there’s the difference then, my commute is twice as long as yours ;)
