No. ? The Spray Coating(Regular or Graphene) is 1 year. I just apply it every 6 months or so for peace of mind on a pretty day when I have time.

Graphene CS3 or Graphene Detail Spray; sure apply every wash or two.

I know it’s confusing them dropping a new product every month it seems. ?‍
Did you mean to reply to me or the other guy that I was replying too?

Tonight, I installed my Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Overlay. It was stubborn to stay stuck, but a little heat and I believe it stuck?

And I also got my nGauge from @Mrmonk7663 I like it for all the gauges it can display, especially the boost gauge.

Update on the truck today. Drove it about 15 miles and it drove great, like the suspension's never been touched! Tune seemed to do good too, even though I haven't really gotten on it. I do believe that I'm going to leave the rear drop alone and keep it at the 4" drop it currently is.

Yeah I could have worded that better, but the No was in response to having to apply every wash. Adam’s Coatings do not have to be. The spray is rated at 1+ years, and the coating you got is 5+.

Glen is using the old school coating in the bottle that was originally only rated 2+ years or so.

I was under the impression that with the Adam's Spray-on Ceramic, it needed to be applied like 2-3 times a year? That's one reason, I wanted to it the way I did it. :)

Yeah I do, I apply it twice a year. You do not have to though. On my wife’s Mazda we were on month 7 and it was still as hydrophobic as ever. I decided to re-do it going in to winter, but you do not have to.

Doing the real coating in the bottle you did it the right way! ??

Had some minor issues the other day and thought it was because of my tune install, well, one was and the other was because the battery was disconnected, but I emailed 5-Star Monday afternoon and they email me this just now....

Got almost all the Lariat dash pieces, one's on backorder, but should be here soon. So, after I got the 5-Star tunes taken care of, I installed more of the Carbon Fiber "faux" trim on the new Lariat dash pieces.

That looks great, not over the top at all.
The Carbon Fiber looks much better on the Vault Grey Lariat trim, over the Fortress Silver XLT trim, in my opinion...

I've put about 40 miles or so on the truck since it's been lowered. This morning, I checked the gaps at all 4 corners on the truck and they were all off, but not by much. The front end was off about 1/4" from left to right, but I adjust it tonight and got them within 1/8" of each other.

The rear gap was 1/8"-1/4" higher on the drivers side, over the passengers side. I put that little 1/4" OEM spacers in the flip kit tonight and it got back rear side gaps, adjusted to 4 1/8"

OEM Spacer

Spacer installed between Belltech Flip Kit and Leaf Springs.
