I never understand how all those wax sprays are advertised as "ceramic". AFAIK it involves baking at hight temperature to become ceramic. Otherwise it's just a mix of powder and liquid. And I work with ceramics for 30+ years.
Pottery doesn't count. ;)

Somewhat, it was pretty slick and anything you do to protect your finish helps. I’m sure a professional application product is better but im not paying that kind of money. It washes a lot easier and the pollen just washes off with a hose. It also flows into the nooks and crayaround the hinges etc.
$22??? How can you afford to drive your jeep?

There is a nearly zero chance this product did anything
The image below you post is ice cream. It can work wonders! Maybe not for hail, though.

Just run a little scientific experiment. Apply the grigiots and throw little pebbles at the Jeep and see what happens

Tell me how it goes when the hail is large enough to punch holes through the fiberglass roof 😜

You could always add this extra layer of "protection" 😂

This is the stupiest and most effective thing I’ve ever seen. The ingenuity is pure brilliance

There isn't much on a JLUR for hail to dent. I've been in golfball sized hail twice and had zero damage both times... most of the Jeep's horizontal area is fiberglass/plastic. The glass is all vertical so even it is mostly immune.

The thread title led me on. Now I'm sad.

Lzzy still wouldn't have a damn thing to do with me. 🫤

Don't be sad.

The first time I heard that track I thought my Launch page had screwed up and went all down home country on me. 🤣

How did I miss this thread? I feel like I just showed up to the party right as everyone’s already leaving…or is it me?
