I’m so frustrated!

I’m so frustrated that my Raptor keeps looking dirty after I clean it.

This is my daily so I can’t stand it always looking filthy.

The seats inside are part leather and material that I’m nervous of getting dirty or stained

What do you guys do to keep your Broncos pristine since they are so expensive .

Also might change from SAVSQCH to SAVsBBR as my vanity plate.

Have you tried not being dirty?

No matter what I do it always gets dirty

That's what you get for buying a black truck...

Is that stuff that people wipe on, can't remember what it's called but starts with a c?, like Rain-X for the body parts? I was thinking that kept it looking cleaner.

Edit: Cerakote

Owner of black vehicle frustrated it's hard to keep clean? Where have I heard this before?

It’s a Bronco…not a Porsche

Embrace the dirty

Am I crazy or does my Bronco look better the dirtier it gets?? At least that is what I am telling myself

It comes with having a black vehicle. Looks amazing when clean, but quickly shows dust/dirt/road grime.

When I think about Connecticut, clean does not come to mind.

That's one of the reasons I picked the color I did. I might have really liked the Antimatter Blue (only for '21), but having had a dark blue truck before, I knew I'd be a slave to my dust cloth and detail spray. This time of year is the worst with the tree pollen - a dust brush just pushes it around. I have found that keeping any vehicle in a garage is a BIG help. It tends to dry off after a rain with a lot less water spots. Even the celebrated ceramic coating will not make a black truck water spot free - and it still needs to be reapplied regularly.

As with really any black vehicle, it will ONLY look great when it's just cleaned off. Otherwise, you should just lean into the 'just drove through a muddy puddle' look - like a badge of courage.

A matte PPF will make it less obvious. Ceramic wax makes it take a bit longer to stick and a bit easier to wash off

Dust on the interior drives me nuts, but I also like riding with the top and windows open, so… I did everything on vinyl with washout floors. Now I can just hit it with the leaf blower and have it looking ok

When we bought my wife's Agate Black Explorer, we immediately had it professionally ceramic coated. Touch free car washes do an OK job but nothing beats hand washing. Looks showroom new and requires minimul drying. Leaf blower or clean microfiber cloth does the trick. Well worth the $2,000.00.

I thought this was a prank post.

I don’t get it man. I used to have Silver Bronco and it was always clean .

This Raptor though is always dirty.

Keeps me up at night!

I had a black Power Wagon. Looked BEAUTIFUL when it was clean...which was almost never. It showed every bit of dirt, pollen, you name it. Eventually I embraced it and started washing it once a month, and only taking pictures after it was washed.

If you want it to stay clean, put it in a garage under a cover.
