This is very healthy thinking!

i measued 6ft each side and didnt feel like paying $190 for the pre-cut side pieces from autopaintguard.com so got the generic roll for less than $50 shipped. will trim to shape and squeegee on.
Have you put paint protector on before? If so, can you tell me how difficult/easy it is? I've been considering get the pre-cut kit fir the front end.

Today, I carefully avoided it while getting the lawnmower out.

Yesterday, I checked the oil for the first time. It was about 1/4 quart low (800 miles) so not bad for a brand new motor. I topped it off, no funnel, and I spilled a little oil. Oops.

Drove it to work, got grass blown all over the side of it, so I gave my baby its first bath, not really a full detail job but I got all the crud off, then me and the old lady went for a drive and I put another 50 miles on it, I'm just past 900 now.

Yep I do my own clearbra install so putting on a slap of straight clear is very easy.
I think this site still has how to but anyway, the biggest tip of the day is ALWAYS keep your finger tips wet with solution when handling the adhesive side. otherwise you get permanent finger prints on the clearbra.

Gave my Z a single bucket wash without rinsing her off first, dropped my natural sponge (only to pick it up thereafter to continue on without rinsing) on the driveway while rinsing each panel and since I was washing while in the sun....the darn soap kept getting dried before I could rinse.

After all was said and done I dried my Z off with some old t-shirt I found on the garage floor that I used to wear while mowing the lawn and laying on the driveway under my last car! I had to shake the dirt out first before rubbing it on my clean car (didn't want to scratch the paint you know)!!

All in all, a good day!!
