Dropped off the X5 last Friday for: 2-stage paint correction, XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic coating on all exterior surfaces including wheel off and M Sport brake calipers.

Just picked it up this morning and the guys at Patriot Auto Detail in Lorton, VA did a f'ing amazing job. It's been raining in the DMV for the past couple of days and glad it wasn't this morning - nothing like that extra new glossy shine.

Thanks! I'm pretty stoked with the results, especially the wheels. Wish it was sunnier to appreciate the results.

Note: not a promotion for BMW of Alexandria, just live in the neighborhood LOL.

Holey Moley, I took I10 cross country a couple of winters ago because I thought there'd be no way I'd see snow. Guess I got lucky.

And the problem is not the snow, but the temperatures that come afterwards, sometimes to the low 10's, and thats when you get into the black ice problems throughout.
