Hi Guys,

I've had my 2018 RAM 1500 for about a week and a half and I'm prepping it for winter. I've already taken it in for Krown rustproofing and noticed that my local Krown dealer offers a Masterseal paint protection service for $200. Thoughts on this - will the Masterseal paint protector harm my paint in any way ( granite crystal color ) and will it help protect against salt/winter damage ( kicked up rocks, etc. )

Thoughts? Is it a nice-to-have or a stay-away ( not so much worried about cost, just whether it will harm paint, warranty, etc. )

Thanks,
Yak

I have not heard of that product. You might check on a ceramic coating for your truck. Although it will be more expensive ceramic coating have a history of excellent protection for your paint for multiple years. Any good professional detail shop should be able to give you a price and the details of their products.

Try looking at XPEL also. I thin they are the best when it comes to paint protection if the ceramic coating is not desired.

I bet that masterseal is just a quick wax or paint sealant that the dealer upsales to you that isn’t worth it and can be done yourself

I second the ceramic coating. I have it done on my 17’ Sport and love the look/protection. She has a “glass” look to her and beads up really good.
