I will be looking over that thanks. Went up to the dealer today to have them inspect the "damage". Everything is very minor, but I let them know that I didn't pay a large some of money to have the truck come back looking worst than it did before. They asked me what I would like them to do about...

Appreciate the reference. I'll look him up. That makes sense bc it's really not bad, I'm more upset about the way they presenting the car with polish everywhere on the rubber etc. I'm totally new to all of this so I don't even know the best way to remove this. I'm supposed to bring the truck...

I wrote this post the day before the appointment. The price of the project was included in my loan and it gave me a 5-year "paint protection" warranty through Ford so I took the chance to go through with it. In reality, you need a magnifying glass with the perfect lighting to see a few fine...

hahaha not quite $500, but ya, great

Got the truck back today and as one could expect, I'm not happy. 1.) They obviously did a half-ass job. I have white polish (?) everywhere, very noticeable on the rubber, chrome, and "f-150" logo. Why would you take my money and give my truck back unfinished? I shouldn't have to get home and...

This is a great forum. Thanks a lot everyone. All great points and ideas. Although I don't own a camera, I'll try to take some justified photos with my "smart" phone. I might even borrow a camera. Any special angle/lighting important? I imagine direct sunlight close-ups are best for finding...

Thanks for all of the thoughts. I just dropped her off to have the detailing and paint protectant (sealant ) done. Going this route gave me a 5-year paint protection warranty through Ford even when I do my own sealant etc. Versus goingbck to zierbart. Thankfully I was wrong and the rust...

I'll definitely try to.watch the process , thanks. What is a filler ? I keep hearing great things about the product you mentioned

That's a great idea, but I do not... After receiving some guidance from a fellow forumite, it seems like the zierbart product is very similar to Zainos being a polymer. As long as these people are professional and don't swirl my great paint I'll live with being screwed out of alot of money if I...

Swirling up the paint is definitely what I'm worried about... Ziebart claims to be using a "proprietary technology" for a sealant that isn't wax or silicon polish. This is supposed to last one year (and of course you have to re-apply it yearly for over $100) They are also supposed to put on a...

Does anyone have experience with or know much about Zierbart (www.zierbart.com) ? Two weeks ago I purchased a 2013 F-150 and under some pressure elected to pay the extra for their "Diamond Gloss" paint protection, along with undercoating rust protection, seat and carpet protection, etc. This...

Ok, it seems like wax provides more of a natural look. If I were going to go that route, the Collinite seems like it would be a good option (possibly layered on sealant?).

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll look into all of those now. Is it correct to think that a sealant will provide more of a deeper, darker look whereas a wax will provide more of a reflective, sparkle and shine? (I know an image like this is very hard to describe)

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I just bought a new 2013 Tuxedo Black Ford F-150 XLT model with the chrome everywhere. This is my first new car and I really want to take great care of it, but even after searching hours on end I have a hard time deciding on which products will be great for...
