Picked up my XRT last week. Loving it so far, but the snow hasn’t let up, so it’s been covered in dirt since day one. Anyone else driving one?
Looks great. Got a 2024 XRT and I love it.

Thanks! Can’t wait for the weather to clear up so I can actually see it clean for once.
I love mine too. The blacked-out badges and grille won me over… plus, I’m always on dirt roads for work, so it fits my needs.

Yeah, the second I saw it in person, I knew I had to get it. Probably my fastest car purchase ever.
What color is that? Looks really good.

Matte Ecotronic Gray. Thanks!

I’ve been considering that color, but I’m also looking at Phantom Black. Not sure about the upkeep on matte paint though… is it a hassle?
@Barbara
It’s definitely more work. I’m not too worried about summer, but winter’s going to be tough. I’ll be using a hand sprayer at the local wash and got a power washer for home. It came with a Mr. Beasley matte cleaning kit, and I’m getting it coated at Ziebart to help a bit.
@Ameliascarlet
Is it true that matte finishes can’t go through regular car washes? I love how it looks, but I don’t know if I want to commit to all that extra care.
Been driving my Rockwood Green XRT for three weeks now. Loving it.

Nice! How’s the color holding up?
Looks great. I have an SEL hybrid and I’m slowly blacking out all the chrome to make it look more like this. Same paint color too!

That’s gonna look awesome when you’re done!
XRT crew checking in.
Congrats! I just got my Calligraphy trim, and it’s already covered in mud. I feel your pain.

Yeah, it’s brutal. I have to hand wash mine because of the matte paint. Getting a coating put on today—hoping that helps a bit.
@Ameliascarlet
I feel you. I got the red one, but when they were detailing it before delivery, they found a deep scratch and a small ding above the door handle. At least they’re fixing it for free. I’m waiting until that’s done before I coat it.
@Jane
Good catch. Better to get it sorted now.

Actually, the dealer caught it first. Props to them for being upfront about it.
