    Last pic before I shave the stash.

    I tried cerakote ceramic spray. Should It be hard to buff out?

    If by 'buff out'....you mean remove, without any streaking.....no, it should not be hard....no spray ceramic should be. Some of them are very temperature, both air and panel, and humidity dependent as it pertains to ease of removal. Was it either hot and/or humid when you applied....did you apply it in full sun.....were the panels hot when you sprayed it on?

    Enhanced a few photos with lux setting because if my wife can wear makeup to fool me into marrying her, my business shots can look a wee bit prettier.

    Worked pretty hard on my son in law’s Bronco yesterday. I don’t know if it’s the artist or the canvas, but I don’t think it came out very impressive. I realized after the sun came up that I completely missed the windshield but I wasn’t breaking the pressure washer back out.
    I didn’t take any before pics but I tried out Griots Ceramic Trim Restorer on the plastic and it really brought it back to life.

    Blame the canvas. I've done a few of these in this color and the cement-wanna be grey. While they look good, they aren't jaw dropping like most coated vehicles I do. Something to do with the angles and color choices just don't match up.

    My daughter has told me that she's seen at least 5 people take pics of the truck while driving since getting buzz n Woody.
    Before then she only noticed 6 or so people take pics of the truck while driving

    After hours of research and watching YouTube videos I decided to take the plunge and polish the truck. Took me a solid 7 hours between all the steps but definitely worth it as it took out a large percentage of the swirl marks and really gave it that pop that black needs to look good. I followed it up with Adam’s polish graphene ceramic coating spray-we’ll see how long it lasts.

    The spray you will probably get 6+ months out of pending weather environment, and how you store it (inside vs out)
