How much product do I need?
Just purchased the Uber ceramic coating kit. I have a new 2016 Colorado Crew Cab. Will the 15 cc be enough to do entire truck including wheels and windows. Will the16oz of prep be enough? I am also wondering what products I will need to maintain? This will be first time using a coating

Re: How much product do I need?
Those are NICE trucks. Being the first time using a coating, do your research. You don't want to be left with any high spots.

Re: How much product do I need?
Congrats on the new truck!
The kit has enough product to prep and coat the entire truck. The included LC foam applicator will be fine for use when coating the truck. If you plan on doing multiple vehicles, consider the system Tony (car daddy) mentioned above.
If it were me, I would maintain this coating/truck with CarPro Hydro foam and Hydro2.

You are going to perform a new car prep/detail to include claying and polishing for the coating correct?

The foam applicators are good for one thing, and one thing only. Getting you to USE MORE PRODUCT! More than you need for sure!
Get a 10 pack of the CarPro Suede Microfiber Cloths.
Why?
Because you can make 160 of the 4" cloths for $19.99 where if you buy the 'pre-cut' 4" cloths you'll pay $12.99 FOR TEN!!!
CarPro Suede Microfiber Cloths, suede microfibre cloths, microfiber towels, cquartz microfiber
Also, get the CarPro Applicator Pack, 2 foam blocks for $3.99.

I've applied all sorts of coatings with the suede cloths and they've all done great. No real worries of high spots, (or at least not any massive ones that don't easily wipe off).
It's easy to apply a second, or even a third coat using the suede cloth method without any worries. I always go over it a second time just to make sure there are no missed spots, works every time.
Applying a coating with that system should be a detailers law or something.
+1 exactly what I do and wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks,really starting to like the truck. Do you wrap the applicator with the cloth. What do you use for buff

I would wrap the Car Pro block with something like Reynolds plastic-wrap first, then wrap the micro-suede cloths around the foam block. The plastic-wrap prevents any solution from soaking past the suedes and into the Car Pro foam block. Once the suede is loaded any additional solution goes where it should...on the paint.
