Default I regret...

not putting Xpel on my hood. I was parked in my underground parkade of my apartment when the stupid street cleaners came and cleaned the underground parking lot. Blasted all the dirt and sand onto the front of my car and now i got all these little white marks on the front section of my hood. They're really small tho, unnoticeable from few feet away, but i see it when i wash my car. Looks like small paint chips or something. Kinda like when you sandblast something. Hopefully its not chips and something else, but im almost positive that it is. Time to get my hood repainted soon...

I share the regret.

I just got the call that my car is ready. I took it in for regular maintenance,
and had them fix the scratches on the nose from highway rocks, and remove those 2 inconsiderately applied door dings I had.

So I continue to be stupid, and not get Xpel/StonGard put on.
Is it too late? I'm not sure.

My original reason for not getting it (other than the dealer didn't even mention the option to me) was that I believe that someone on this forum said that it wasn't removeable (which would be important when it gets damaged). But the dealer says that it is replaceable. But at $500+ for a full kit, that's kinda steep.
(I know, a paint job is more (at least a good one)).

Ah, the price of imperfection...
