That was some work you did Norville, ceramic coating a truck!
I did one once, but it was a single cab...black, and it took me longer than six hours for sure. I also waited two days and did a second coat, and Collinite waxed it as a final step.

One place on the vehicle you may definitely want to seal is your windshield, and Diamonite has a good product, they say it will last up to 6 months depending on how often you use your wipers and the amount of snow or rain gets on your windshield. It supposedly have a sheeting effect as you drive...review says better than Rain-X, which isn't saying much in my opinion.
Then again, some here my never drive their baby in the rain or snow, but if you do, you might want to think about sealing the windshield for better visibility. I'm thinking of trying this on our shower glass...tired of squeegeeing after every shower.

Thanks for the windshield sealing reminder - I haven't done it in centuries. (Well, maybe years...) And yes, my experience with Rain-X is so-so at best - I have some that's been sitting unused in the cabinet for a lot of years. Going to look into the Diamonite you mentioned - that's a new one for me. Griot's has a glass sealant that has gotten good reviews. I might try theirs.
