applying the ceramic coating to Maureen's Blazer has experienced a minor delay, at our request ..... due to an outing with our camping club, we will not be available to pick it up until Monday at the earliest ....

we have Maureen's Blazer and the result of having it ceramic coated is mind blowing .... I've tried taking pictures and they simply don't do it justice .... I was a bit surprised to see it come with Michelin tires .... I prefer 18" rims but the 20's shown do have a decent sidewall and ride smoothly .... we had some running around to do this morning before the rain sets in ..... during our drive we stopped at a local RV Dealership and looked at some 5th wheels and small Class A motorhomes .... haven't looked at new RV's in over 10 years .... while much has changed, much hasn't

Ya there still built poorly and they are the worst thing built in the USA. IMO the older ones are built better than the newer ones. As one guy I know says once you get by the outer shell there all the same junk on the inside.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

:shock: The one change that was probably the most glaring was the price.

Wow, look at that shine! Pics may not do justice, but I can see it.
Looks great for that potential leaf lookn' trip. :D

I've learned that it most certainly takes time and expertise .... the fellow worked on our Blazer for something over 2 days and the results are easy to see .... in addition to working on the outside he also treated the dash, door interiors, seats and console ..... when he saw the child safety seat he gave that entire area a double coat .... I freely admit that when I first heard the price of coating our Blazer I was skeptical and a bit hesitant ..... after speaking with a fellow I've known for decades who works at the dealership and had his new vehicle done a few months ago, we decided to bite the bullet and have it done ..... now, we are happy we had it done and wouldn't hesitate, if/when we buy another vehicle to have it done

The color on your Blazer is perfect to show the difference the treatment will show. Too bad we can’t appreciate it like you can.

Just to clarify my comment was in response to your remark about RV's Jim. The Blazer looks nice.

The Blazer looks great Jim. Those are large tires for that vehicle. I think they are near the same size as my F150.

understood and agree .... there are still a few, small, manufactures who put out a well designed/built RV's .... that number rises and falls as Thor or Forest River buys them out and new ones are formed....
