1st wash with the full wrap experience
Update: I just washed it for the first time. With the full matte wrap and full ceramic coating, it was a breeze to wash and then dry with a microfiber towel. I purchased my supplies from Griott's garage as recommended by XPEL manager in Houston. The large microfiber towel I purchased absorbed all of the water on the vehicle. As in it dried the entire vehicle without having to wring it out, and then I just threw it in the washer.
How is it to wash with ceramic coating but not PPFed? Also, how much were the rubber mats? The dealer in Houston with a 20% discount was $750 for the mats. That seemed excessive.

That's a good price for a full wrap. Who's doing it and what dealer did you get the vehicle from? I purchased mine from Mercedes Benz of Anaheim.

Hey all. I'm new to gwagons and I finally got a 2024 G63. Had to pay 20K over MSRP for it. I live in Los Angeles and I got a "premium color" if that matters.
It's just hard to strike up a deal when theress no shortage of people willing to pay over msrp for the car they want.
My question is other than getting ceramic coating to protect the paint what are some other things new owners like myself should do and know?

Use the blue plastic tool that was included with the dashcam. I took the drivers path and didn't need to remove anything. Don't be scared to apply some pressure 
I will try and get some pictures later for you

Thanks! Where did you shove the wire so that you don't see it? Didn't you have to remove the A pillar to hide the wire from the dash cam to the power source? I thought you can only plug the front camera into the existing wiring. If installing the back camera as well, you have to find both a hot all the time and a hot when running wires. The hot all the time wire is underneath the rear passenger side seat. Looking forward to what you can share from having just done the install.
