You're right, I see them also. I towel dried the car, but not the rims. Next time I'll pay more attention to them.

Are you getting the expel wrapped on the entire car or just the front end and side mirrors? I called a local Xpel dealer and he suggested doing what I just described. He mentioned that Xpel really doesn't defend against Aholes dinging your door up. I have a funny story about me yelling at a middle aged lady for dinging my Caddy before I traded it in for my new S5 Sportback about a month ago. I was sitting in my Caddy when I heard a thud and felt my whole car shake. I look over and it's some older, well to-do house wife, with her door firmly planted in my door. She then shuts her door and pretends like nothing happened. I get out of my car and walk around to see the damage. The whole time I am glaring at her and she looks at me like I am the jerk and she did nothing wrong. Instead of apologizing she just backs up and starts to pull away. I yelled at her "Watch your damn door lady". Some people around probably thought I was crazy because they didn't see what she did and probably thought "here is some young guy yelling at an old lady." Did I mention that I hate people?

Evan, where do you live in Houston? Your house looks like it could be close to my neighborhood. I live over in the Spring Valley/Hillshire Village area in a David Weekly community. Btw I love the Nardo with the black optics package.

While xpel probably wouldn't protect against a dent from the impact of the door, it might at least protect against the paint chip. It's designed to protect against rock chips flying into your car so I'd expect it could take a car door. But then again you'd still have to deal with the dent left behind so may not make a difference to you

I had the hood, front bumper, fenders, mirrors, kick panels and rear bumper wrapped. I had it done 4.5 years ago and it has held up really well.
