slumlord Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 So I picked up my Navigator Tuesday night, Wednesday morning it went straight to the paint protection. Got the full front wrapped with Xpel film and then the whole thing Ceramic coated in (CQuartz) Picked it up and couldn't be happier. The guys at the shop said my truck had more people looking at it than any of their other cars. (some pictured below) they said they couldn't believe it was so popular. But also agreed it is super nice and not at all what they (or anyone else who looked at it) expected of a Lincoln/Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slumlord Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Ill take the 458, please. Its the newer 488! Super nice car but the Mclaren 675 is also pretty amazing (I am a little biased though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The Ferrari is the wrong color I kid, Im just a believer that Ferraris look best in red and should only be offered in their trademark red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozymandias Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Nice pictures (I'll take the Evora as a die-hard Lotus fan) but what I really want to see are pics of the Expedition! Lol Also, I am way out of date on paint protection -- "sealant" always used to be a dealer scam. What is this Ceramic coating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude - that’s about as red as you can get. It’s the second picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceramics are the new wax. It does work quite well and lasts about a year, but it’s really expensive. And most are applied by independent dealers not at the auto dealership. So not quite the old “mop and glo” dealer scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slumlord Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 I am glad I did the front wrap that should help with rock chips and stuff. My last truck I did nothing to it and it got a little beat up. As for the coating I will know more when I do the first wash in a week. It just looks like a nicely waxed car but it should be easier to clean and it will keep that "just waxed" look for a few years. This truck lives outside so I wanted to keep it looking as good as I can for as long as possible. Right now it is covered in GA's great yellow pollen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it over the red mud though. In two weeks Im taking my new Navigator to the woods and will see how the mud comes off in the wash.

It will wash off the vehicle but you’ll never get it out of your socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will wash off the vehicle but youll never get it out of your socks.You should have seen the undercarriage of my last car, it was stained red from the front skid plate all the way to the spare tire along with the wheel wells. Often when I was parked outside after driving in heavy rain there would be a red square outline of my car from the stuff. Seriously, drive through one good mud pit and its with you forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
