Great suggestion. I’ve also heard that their product works very well and saw it on an Cobra replica that had an incredible shine. In my case the truck sat in a rail yard for well over a month and already had some scratches and a fair amount of swirl marks in the paint, so it needed buffing before any form of coating. Getting another car soon and think I’ll try the Turtle wax route and hopefully save a bunch of money.

Paint correction and full ceramic coating of truck and wheels $1200. Never had it on any of my previous trucks but do have it on my 911. It makes a huge difference in how long it takes to clean / dry the car. I figured this thing is so big anything that makes it easier to keep clean would be worthwhile. They claim it’s guaranteed for 4 years. I’ve only had it on my car for a year so I can’t say for certain how long it will actually last.

Thanks! It’s at the detail shop getting ceramic coated. They just called and said it looks really good. Next stop window tinting.

Ordered 8/24, in my driveway on 2/01. 200 miles in and really enjoying it so far.

Oh - and no I don’t have an actual screen shot from their VVR system.

Yes shipped by rail via CSX. I called the dealer today and told them I wanted to know where it was. They said they have the rail car number and it states the truck is still in Kentucky. Then I told them I wanted the rail car number so I could check on it myself. They gave it to me (assuming it’s correct) and I called the CSX automated line - it told me that rail car arrived in Clinton SC 25 days ago. Informed the dealer and they said they will have to have a Ford rep do some more research.

I had Autobahn Air Ceramic clear put on my windshield several years back and while it does noticeably block some heat, I think 98% would be way optimistic. Their website states 44% solar energy reflected and 68% infrared rejection for whatever that’s worth. Just be aware that the first few days after it’s applied the optical clarity is very poor. I was about to take it back and have it removed but after it fully cured it cleared up nicely. I’m unsure of the numbers but have always had the side windows done to match the factory rears. Looks good from the outside but a b*tch to see out of at night.

@Atlas…. You’re not alone. I got the same email on 1/10, 3 days after is was supposed to be delivered. No more notifications from Ford since then but near the end of each week the tracker pushes the date out another week. It just pushed out again this morning.

Estimated delivery date pushed back again for the fifth time. Interesting though that the dealers website lists 3 f250’s (not mine) as in transit, all of which have window sticker production dates a week after mine. What the heck is going on?

Dealer representative just called and said they checked and the truck is still sitting at the rail yard in Kentucky. His assumption is that CSX doesn’t have a full car so it won’t ship until they do ?. Tomorrow is one month since getting the your vehicle has been shipped email.

Unsure if it’s the case here, but on my other non-Ford vehicles this generally happens if you’ve exceeded one of the preset speed limits that have been programmed.

I did not get any additional emails from Ford but checked the tracking link this morning and see that the estimated delivery date has been pushed again. Was 1/14, then 1/20, now 1/28. Wondering how many times I should expect this? It seems the closer you get the more agonizing the wait!

I tried that. It’s an exercise in futility. All I get is the same info ford sends me in the email.

Hmmm…., possibly. Mine was supposedly shipped on 12/22 to arrive between 1/01 and 1/07. On 1/10 I got the following email. Where does one find the actual rail car info? Is it listed on the window sticker?

For those in the know, will the dealers VVR system have any specific information on why the shipping has been delayed when they already informed me it was shipped on 12/22? I asked the sales rep and he said: “It’s being shipped from Kentucky. No problems, just a delay. Your new estimated date is 1/20. I have no explanation for the delay”
