    Dark Emerald Frost

    I have DEF and I got the whole vehicle wrapped in XPEL Stealth PPF. It has been incredibly easy to take care of.

    Rock Guards

    Wondering this as well - just got a crack today on mine. P/N on windshield doesn't show up on any sites online.

    Opinion about ceramic coating?

    Had a license plate get kicked up off the ground by the car in front of me while on the highway. Wasn't able to avoid it and it did some damage. Luckily, the PPF did it's job and protected the matte paint, but I will need to replace the 2 plastic grill sections. Unlucky...

    <1000 Miles & CEL

    The throttle body for the BW is shared with the Escalade, so that's probably why. 👍

    <1000 Miles & CEL

    Opinion about ceramic coating?

    I think from a aesthetic maintenance standpoint ceramic is undeniably worth it. My last vehicle was a Porsche 718 GTS and I had PPF on the front/hoods/rocker, as well as ceramic over the whole car, including the wheels and brakes. Having the ceramic made washes comically easy. I would go to a...

    Cadillac Dealer Price Gouging

    I'm all for the 1 year agreement with a dealership that "thou shall not flip". I think Ford is going to do that with the new F150 lightning? I feel like preventing customers from flipping will give dealerships less incentive to markup since that's what really gives them the evidence that they...

    PSA Regarding Bayed / Shipping

    I have had no luck with trying to get more information. Cadillac always tells me to reach out to my dealer who always says he can't get answers or ETA from anyone. My EDD is 1/27 now which is almost 3 months after my BW was produced.
