The paved roads were dry, plus I really think the CeramicPro does not allow the dust to stick as much as non-treated paint. You should see the "after" pics, however. We took a couple of hours exploring some pretty rough old mining roads north of Georgetown and around Black Hawk. It was the closest I have had the Pace to "off road" and I got to know the different traction modes, the controlled descent, and really tried to get it loose on washboard dirt twisties. Really surprised at how well the system would not let things get out of hand. Even when I punched off the ASC, the system would not let me wag the tail out, it was like it gave up only a little bit of control and then stepped in. That actually bothered me, because I realize that I will never get a chance to drift in the F-Pace.Never been to Colorado, one of the few places in the US that I've somehow not visited. Man, that's nature out there beyond your F-Pace. Nature in all its majesty, serenity, and lethality. Makes me think of the movie, "The Revenant." How the heck did you keep your car so clean driving it up there?
Oh my friend, if you couldn't get it to drift you were not trying quite hard enoughTried to edit, but ran out of time. In thinking about this a bit more, I am sure the system that distributes the power from rear to front is still in full play, even with the ASC off, thus preventing the tail from wagging out. Duhhh.... all wheel drive vs rear wheel drive, where on my XKR I can get sideways with the traction control off.
How fun! We did go by some frozen lakes, and I actually looked to see if I could get access to try just that, but the friend who was with me had the voice of reason regarding thin ice in the spring... the F-Pace probably does not float!Oh my friend, if you couldn't get it to drift you were not trying quite hard enough! I have a huge business parking lot right by where I live, when it snows it is empty and there are no obstacles. I often see a lot of people practicing how to turn, stop, take off etc. in the snow. Anyway, it happened to be empty, I put it in dynamic, had the gear set to 1, and turned traction control off. Took off, when I was at about 30 MPH driving in a straight line and in third gear I quickly downshifted to 2 and turned the steering wheel quick... tail sprang loose very quickly, kept it drifting for about a minute before I got bored.
What I've found is its much tougher if you dont have the wide open space to do it. Keep at it though0

Where in Denver did you get your ceramic pro done if you don't mind my asking?The paved roads were dry, plus I really think the CeramicPro does not allow the dust to stick as much as non-treated paint.
