Mirrors, bumper, full fenders, full hood, a-pillars, roof to antenna-ish, headlights, and fogs.

It’s invaluable to do the doors below the beltline IMO. I had mine a month and realized that area was already being hammered by small rocks (and I have flaps). I brought it back in an had them expel there too. Well worth it IMO.

Also did the rear gate because it attracts dust like a magnet. Now I can use a car brush to clean it off and not worry about scratches.

Can you run it through the car wash with brushes or strips? I never have taken my 2018 black Silverado Dbl cab through a car wash with anything but spray that touches it. Still looks good, though, with the occasional hand wash job and wax.

You can but I would never bring any of my cars through anything but a touchless.

Ok fine. I did one time. :)

Yeah, guy told to stay awy from pressure washing, but a reg car wash every once in a while is fine. Any problems and swing by, he’ll fix it.

I’ve pressure washed and gone through touchless (aka: pressure wash) washes for 40000 miles with no peeling etc on my xpel but ymmv. I’d be much more concerned about a traditional car wash snagging on a corner of the film etc. (let alone the scratches to the uncovered paint).
