Hardtop Care - UV Protection?

[RHeinz]

Don’t have the Bronco yet.

Is anyone using some sort of UV protection for their hardtop other than a garage?

First two rules of the Mogwai apply:

Third rule would be to never wax it.

You might be onto something.

furthermore can it be ceramic coated by products like Avalonking? What about flares etc?

Wax will cause hardtop disintegration. Also third rule is "Don't talk to commies".

Storing it in the garage and using a soft top has worked best for me.

Exactly this for me as well.

Per Ford:

SSM 50476 - 2021-2022 Bronco - Hard Top - Exterior Cleaning And Care

2021-2022 Bronco vehicles equipped with the hard top roof option are compatible with traditional drive through car washes. Plastic surface conditioners and spray (liquid) wax/detailer products may also be used for care and maintenance. Avoid cleaning the hard top exterior surface with power tools/buffers, rubbing/polishing compounds and paste waxes/polishes as this could scratch or damage the surface. Cleaners that contain alcohol and other strong solvents such as toluene oracetone must never be used. Using those types of cleaners may cause unrepairable damage to the surface of the hard top. In all cases, verify compatibility in an inconspicuous location prior to broad application.

Thank you for a factual response.

I don’t see it, so I don’t care about it. I don’t even wash it.

I use adams advanced graphene ceramic on mine. Couldn’t be happier. Nice uniform color and finish. Great on the flares too.

The Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic is somewhat pricy. Have you used it long term?

By the way, your Bronco is SUPER!!!! Hope I get mine in the near future….built 4/7 and now parked on the dirt in Wayne, Michigan.
