Just got my 2017 Mustang GT (Fast!!) washed and detailed, claybar, etc, always garaged, but a buddy reminded me to get one of those dusters, I remember them from 30 ish years ago, which one is best?

I’ve been curious about this ceramic coating. Sounds like you like it. How long does it last, and does it eliminate the need to wax till it’s time for more ceramic?

I did my research a few years back and the System X stuff that I had applied was the longest lasting. Vermont has some serious winter salt, brine, sand, snow and ice which will make it challenging. I normally hand was with a foam gun and hand wash, rinse and dry. Then as a final I have the System X renew spray (From amazon) and microfiber. The oldest in my fleet is the wife's Rav4 Prime and it still turns heads when it's clean. I haven't used wax in years.

We did a couple of our newer rigs at the fire station with the ceramic coating. It has a 12 year warranty ... we just need to have them come and inspect every year and touch up any spots they feel it needs. The charge for the inspection and touch-up is a little over $100. Haven't waxed the rigs since we did this and they are still looking great!
