Before I put any true miles on my car ( only 76 right now) I wanted to get the paint protected...so I am getting XPEL applied right now. $1550 OTD.  Well worth the investment.

1. Front Bumpers/ grill upper and lower

2. Side fenders

3. Mirrors 

4. Also 4” on the roof

I got it put on my 2018 before I even drove it off the lot.  With black paint I didn't want it to look like it had spots on it a month later.

Looks great but holy cow that's expensive.  I drive two tracks in the woods all the time as well as a lot of highway miles.  I never had an issue with scratches or bugs damaging the paint beyond what a simple cleaning and waxing wouldn't fix.  I live in Northern mi, are you in a State that has intense sun that makes it worse?

Paint protection film is something that will help way more for highway driving and rock chips.

 

Where I live I wouldn’t even consider not having PPF installed. The debate is more on how much of the truck you want it installed on.

 

it might sound expensive but it’s well worth the money.

Can’t wait for my 2020 to come in and once it does first stop will be at my XPEL installer. Got it on all my vehicles and it saves a lot of headaches

325/65/18 with 1/4 spacers on all four.  If you go with smaller size tire or less aggressive you won’t need spacers.

I have it on our daily drivers (white acadia and black enclave).  The acadia is a 2017 and hasn't yellowed at all in 2 years and its parked outside at work. Enclave is a 2018 and holding up well.  Definitely worth it.  I put 30,xxx mile / year on my daily and my previous terrain front end looked horrible after 1 year with a ton of road rash.  So far only have 2 small rock chips that got through the xpel on the acadia, The windshield is another story, so I can only imagine how bad the front end out be if I didn't have the Xpel on there. 

Held off on the trucks because they will go to the twins in the next year and Im assuming they will hit something anyways.

to those on the fence, definitely worth it to protect your investment in the long term.  As mentioned, the only question is how much you want to cover, for the wife's car, I had them do rocker panels as well, will add that to my next car as well when I switch out next year.

I'm not sure how that would hold up to branches and twigs on two tracks. And that may not be an issue for you.  I think I'll be using this, a lot of my friends swear by it's performance.                                                                                                                                                                                                           https://www.shinearmor.com/products/shineshield®-wash-and-wax?utm_source=smart-campaign&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6_3QgKfi4wIVgiCtBh3qUgkOEAAYASAAEgIBPfD_BwE

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
