Saw this today. But to be fair, there's no color available that can hide what the back roads where I'm at will do to your vehicle in 5 minutes.

My order exactly. I'll let you all know how it holds up once I actually have the thing.

I think certain colors look better with Chrome and others with Sport. You can guess which I thought looks better with VB.
The 6G doesn't have a lot of chrome front surface area though. My 5G has a Chrome bumper, which doesn't show dirt too much. It's not really as easy to clean as the paint though. It tends to be a little hazy. The chrome-like PVD wheels, however, are easy to clean and still look good when I'm lazy and don't clean them.
Did the same thing VB with the chrome package! Was scheduled to be built 1/16.

Pretty easy, if you ask me.

I have it on my Bronco and really don't have a problem keeping it clean. I ceramic coated it and it makes all the difference in the world. Washing is a breeze and bugs and grime come off easily. The best gift I gave myself and the bronco was a power washer. When my Raptor comes in I will be ceramic coating it as well. I ordered Shelter Green Metalic for the Ranger.
How long does the ceramic coat last ? Thanks

I got the 5 year one from Chemical Guys. I am almost a year into it and it is like I just put it on. Water beads up, mud washes off, bugs don't stick. I used to be a wax it every 3 months guy and was skeptical of the new thing (probably because dealers pushed teflon coating for so many years) and now love the wash and move on with life. There are some 1 year ones, but I figured if I was gonna do it, I was gonna go for it.

The stuff from Chemical Guys was around $140. You also needed a stripper that took the wax off that came from the dealer. That is a spray bottle for $20~ that you spray on and wipe off. When I did it, I had one spot that I put it on a little heavy. Next time I washed it, I put some of the stripper on that little piece and reapplied a little ceramic on it and it looked perfect. I guess I am saying, it is really easy to use.
