Alien bone dust?
No wonder it was so pricey

That actually looks decent, did they mention which coating they installed?

I’ll have to dig out the paperwork
It’s certainly one I’d never heard of before and I think it’s some kind of “dealer only” brand, like the Xzylion brand they applied on the new Tacoma my wife bought in 2017
Like I said, this wasn’t my decision
It’s “guaranteed” for 10 years, just like the Expel PPF, for what that’s worth, and no, I don’t think a 10 year coating exists

Here is their very scant information
I tried to get the boss to slow her roll on all the add ons they push when you sit down with the closing guy but she just wanted out of there
If there had been other cars available I think I would have put on the brakes and done some research but there was only the one we bought that another guy was hovering around if we didn't take it and a white one and that's not happening
Who knows, it may be a good product that they source for their program because they are obviously middlemen, not chemists and blenders
Whatever is on there obviously beads well, even when its covered in road grime, so maybe I lucked out and it was money well spent (it could happen)
I guess only time will tell and I can certainly go nuclear on it and put on the good stuff if push comes to shove
I get to wash it next week and it's supposed to be colder so I will most likely go through the touchless to get the undercarriage and then do a rinseless wash in the garage
I have ONR (new formula), McKees N914, and Feynlab Rinseless to choose from for cleaning, as well as BH Auto Foam for a pre treat
For possible toppers I have Griots Ceramic 3 in 1 Wax and Griots Ceramic Speed Shine, Megs HCW, 3D Bead it Up, and good old OCW
Like I said earlier I am going to need help on this one
I am thinking Feynlab for a first cleaning after a BH pretreat using the IK foamer just to really dig down and deep clean it but if you think one of the other cleaners would be better I'd love to hear your thoughts
Out of the toppers I have I really have had the best luck with Megs HCW but that has been on bare paint so if the Griots 3 in 1 is better over ceramic let me know
Yup, after 20+ years I have come full circle and I am the newbie
