Lol....

I am so tired, I really would do it, but I spent literally 3 hours cleaning the car. My arms and legs are all shot.

On a side note, I noticed bunch of small dots of paint imperfection, possibly due to road debris. I am this -----> <----- close to saying fuck it and not to xpel and just drive the shit out of the car because it will never be perfect.

But then other side of me says this stuff only gets worse, the sooner I do xpel the better it is.

Looks like you've got a great garage, a great driveway, and a stunning car.

Congrats.

Thank you sir. I will take a picture of this beast with the other beast (M5) side by side as soon as I get a chance.

Though I have to be honest, I really dont feel like driving the M5 at all anymore, feels so numb.

That's saying a lot.

For a long time, the M5 has been the barometer for me. No matter how you slice it, it's one of the most impressive cars on the road.

You sir, are living in car heaven. Enjoy it.

Mine was 4k for full wrap and thats from the guy who does mclarens and 458s. 5k is ridiculous.

I think I will just do the front for now and rear impact area which is around $2100. I'll then wait a few months and see how much scratches etc happen on other areas from washing the car. If it gets so bad that I cannot tolerate it, I'll do rest of the car.

I didn't do paint protection film because my thinking was, for the same price, I could have the car painted if I ever want to sell. Now I am regretting that decision, not because of rock chips, but because I clean this thing so much, it would be so much easier with ppf. My amg car was much easier to clean with ppf. Do the whole car you won't regret it. The rock chips I can live with because they're battle scars from track days, the swirls over time are what bugs me

You have to soap it and then park it in the sun to dry. Gives the best results. Just kidding, nice car. Thanks for posting a pic. The red and white really is a classic combo. Do you have any of it rinsed off?

What did you use to wash your car? I am clearly doing it wrong.
