What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Put the summer wheels on for the first time since i got this.
Obviously i had to give it a good wash too
Cleaned the winter wheels properly before hanging them on my garage wall.
Bilt-Hamber Korrosol in action as the last step.

Added chrome trim to the headlights and brake lights, surprisingly look very very good. Just one thing with the headlight trim was that they cover part of the amber trim for the turn signals (there's a little square cutout so you can see the amber bulb light up). Looks great overall, if anyone was curious how it looked on a black CX-5 I will take some pics and try to post them tonight.

Just had Paint Protection film installed on the front fascia, headlights, side mirrors, door handle cups, and rear bumper. (Xpel Ultimate). I got it done at a window tinting place near where I work and they did a phenomenal job.
Why did you need to re-balance them? vibrating when braking?
Yes, please!

That would be caused by warped rotors. Wheel balancing will cause vibrations at various speeds and consequently, uneven tire wear.

My wife's grand touring will be a week old this Saturday, but this morning I am taking her in for a full roof rail, and mud flap install at the dealer. I will also be picking up a set of all weather mats that they owe me. I am really happy with the extra performance of the 2.5 so far.
Are you getting 3M ceremic tint? It blocks out 80% of the heat.
I had all 10 windows (32% front 2 & clear on the rest) in the CX-5 with it & the car interior is not hot in the sun.
Best $500 I've ever spent.
I can't remember what the shop uses, but I'm pretty sure it's 3M. You had the windshield done too? I was thinking of just having a thin band done at the top like on the CX-9:
I gotta see if the shop can do a straight line across the windshield like that. If they can I'll have them do it. If it's one of those ones where the tint curves from the middle of the windshield to the edges I won't have them do it.

I'm not talking about the strip on the top. I had my entire front windshield tinted with clear 3M ceramic tint. I basically put a heat shield in all the windows so the sun's heat won't penetrate the windows. Regular tint only blocks light coming in, not heat. The ceramic tint blocks 80% of it.I can't remember what the shop uses, but I'm pretty sure it's 3M. You had the windshield done too?

The guy had a heat lamp to demonstrate and I can feel the difference.
So that is I why had all the windows tinted with ceramic tint, clear on the windshield, all back factory windows and 32% on the front two windows.
