I'm a little surprised you didn't travel with or purchase some of that blue painters tape for the road trip back. Probably would've been easier to tape up 90% of the front and peel the bug splattered tape off when you got home. 😂

I budgeted replacements of the Enkei’s, because I thought cleaning them would be a major pain in my OCD ***. After three washes, I’m shocked to report they’re SUPER easy to clean and the brake dust is nothing like the madness on my ‘16 FSport wheels. (Which also had OEM pads installed.)

Looking good! I am also getting XPEL for the PPF, ceramic coat, and tint. They have my car for the weekend so I miss it.

They had mine for 5 days! But they did a great job. Love a place that has the XPEL printouts so no bad edges. The wrap fits perfectly!

@DLPTony do you ever use something like armor all brake dust repellent? I have not but I’ve ordered some. My wife’s BMW X3 is a horror of brake dust. If I do t need it she sure will.

Perfect day to get it shined up and *slowly* run errands so everyone gets a good look. 😜

I did it once, but the distribution of the dust made the wheels look super weird.

Much snow where you are in New Brunswick ?? Here in the Ottawa area it is finally starting to melt. Just chipped the last of the ice build up in my driveway today.
