    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    Use what you like. The Xpel branded detailing products are nothing special. I like Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz but that's silly expensive. A little does go a long ways though. Koch Chemie makes good products so don't be afraid to use them.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Yeah that’s the normal no matter how far I park. Luckily this office building is never busy and I parked away from the entrance.

The salesman I bought from, Matt Kunsman text me since he knows I have a friend looking but he wants CF1/2.

    Random Shut Off

    Is it immediately after starting up or 10 minutes after? My 5 will shut off if you let it idle for around 10 minutes. The display will pop up on the dash telling you before and say press the brake or something to extend the time.

    Readily Available DIY Ceramic Coating?

    The auto parts stores do not carry real paint coatings. The ceramic or SiO2/Graphene containing spray products are not a real paint coating. They will not perform in the same manner as a real ceramic/quartz/graphene coating will. I always coat our wheels and painted calipers and I use an...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I bought the Giulia a year ago thinking I would never get a 5BW allocation that I had been trying to get since the prior August. As I was signing the paper work, the Cadillac dealer called me with an allocation and to finalize my order. So clearly the quadrifoglio is a good luck charm! I drove...

    Car seats in 5bw

    I bought the Blackwing so I could haul a kiddo(s). We have been using a Nuna Pipa RX rear facing seat with Pipa RELX base. We bought 2 bases since my wife drops off and I pick up. The car seat stays with my son. Now that he is 14 months old and he has a baby sister arriving this summer we...

    Xpel Ultimate Fusion

    I believe that's still fairly new so it's hard to say how long it will last. That's more dependent on your usage, mileage and how you maintain the finish. Car looks great though!

    ...

    My wife had a 2018 Macan GTS. We loved it but traded it this past July for a new Escalade. We had our first child at the end of 2021 and the Macan, baby, baby stuff and dog just was not working. We both miss it a lot. She loves the Escalade but it's a different machine than the Macan was. The...

    Oil Changes

    I did my first change around 1,350 miles. Super easy to change. Sent a sample to Blackstone labs. Standing under the car facing towards the front. Drain plug is on passenger side. Oil filter is under the yellow microfiber which I was using to snug up an incorrectly sized filter cap wrench.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    My salesman at Faulkner Cadillac in Bethlehem Pa said they have a manual 4 available. Spec looks pretty nice. Like a baby brother to my 5. Too bad my wife said no more cars for a while!
