2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty - White

Heavy-duty trucks work hard on Maui. Sun, salt air, red dirt, and job-site grime take a toll on clear coat fast—especially on bright whites where oxidation shows early. This Ford F-250 Super Duty came to 417 Detailing (Maui) for a full exterior detail, paint correction, and a Jade Ceramic Coating to lock in gloss and long-term protection.

Initial Inspection & Decon Wash

We started with a full inspection under our hex lighting to map out defects: embedded contaminants, light swirls from automatic washes, and early staining on lower panels.

• Citrus foam pre-soak and contact wash
• Wheel, tire, and barrel cleaning
• Iron/fallout remover on paint
• Clay bar treatment to pull remaining bonded contaminants
• Touchless rinse and filtered blow-dry

Single-Stage Paint Correction (Cut & Polish)

White paint hides defects in photos, but it still loses clarity. We measured paint safely, then performed a single-stage correction using a microfiber cutting pad followed by a refining polish. This removed the light wash marring and restored crisp reflections across the long hood and doors.

Result: noticeably brighter white, sharper reflections, and a perfectly clean surface for coating adhesion.

Jade Ceramic Coating Application

With the finish corrected, we installed Jade Ceramic Coating:

• Applied to paint, gloss plastics, head/taillights, and door jambs
• Creates a durable, hydrophobic barrier that resists UV, salt spray, and chemicals
• Adds slickness that keeps work-site grime from sticking
• Extreme beading and easier wash-downs

Cure was completed in our controlled studio environment for maximum durability.

Why Ceramic Coating a Work Truck Makes Sense on Maui

• UV & Heat Resistance: reduces oxidation and chalking on white paints
• Salt-Air Protection: slows corrosion on high-exposure coastal routes
• Time Savings: mud and film rinse off quickly—less downtime, fewer washes
• Resale Value: protected, swirl-free panels look newer for longer

Maintenance Plan We Recommended

• Weekly pH-neutral wash (no tunnel washes)
• Top up slickness with a ceramic-safe spray every 6–8 weeks
• Decon/maintenance detail every 6–9 months to keep performance peak

Final Thoughts

This 2020–2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty now has the shine of a weekend cruiser with the protection a job-site rig needs. The combination of paint correction + Jade Ceramic Coating means easier upkeep, deeper gloss, and long-term protection tailored to Maui’s climate.
