Any problems with the car or warranty related issues? What interval are you doing your oil changes at?

No issues. I'm pretty much 90% freeway I just do the recommended 7500 interval

Awesome! Cool part is that I really don't see many problems happening with this car! I had fully planned on the 7500 mile interval, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. Thanks for responding!

Installed my Beat-Sonic Sharkfin yesterday. Took forever due to alignment issues. Didn't know how tough it would be just to point it straight.

Here's the detailed list of what happened:
Picked her up on last Wednesday.
Saw that car had scratches literally EVERYWHERE.
Dealership tried to buff them out on the spot, brought it back half an hour later, still scratches EVERYWHERE.
Said that was the best they could do.
I didn't care because I already had an appointment set up for later that night for opti-guard.
Took the car to the guy, and he worked his magic and removed EVERY scratch on the car and Opti-Guarded the whole thing.
Next night, I had the front bumper, full hood, headlights, full front fenders, mirror fronts, a-pillars, and about 12 inches of the roof covered in Xpel Ultimate to prevent rock chipping to the areas that are at the greatest risk on the road.

Either way, why did I do both? Well, Opti-Guard prevents against more chemical damage, whereas Xpel Ultimate covers against more physical damage. I guess if the whole car was being covered in Xpel Ultimate, I'd skip the Opti-Guard, but since it wasn't, I had both done.
