I had mine done a few weeks after I bought it (a year ago now) I got the three year protection, my truck stays in my garage and is parked under a canopy while at work, that said, I have driven about 9K miles with the coating applied and it still works like it was new. Water beads right up and I can dry the truck with a shop or leaf blower! Pretty cool. I have taken the truck on several week-long camping trips to the woods, mountains and deserts, when we get home, the truck is trashed from the trip but it washes up nice and easy, looks great again after a normal wash.
A few things my guy told me, no automatic car washes (no big deal for me, those things are terrible on your paint) I never use them anyway. He recommended I IMMEDIATELY clean off any bird shit I see. The acids and other crap in the crap eat away at the ceramic, I guess. Wash the truck at two or three week intervals to maintain the coating, again, no problem for me.
I always clay bar my new cars, always. If you don't, do. You will be amazed how different/better the paint will look after the clay bar, one of the best things ever. I clay bared my truck before I decided to ceramic coat it, because of that, the detailer only charged me $50 bucks for the ceramic since I did the hard work (clay) for him.....sweet!!
This was my first ceramic coating, I believe in it so much that I will have this one recoated and will be getting my wife's new car done in the next few months!!
Hope this helps, enjoy that truck!!
