YMMV though!

Nope, same procedure I use, especially in the winter.

I'll guess the real secret is basically not driving the car like it should be driven.

*WHEN IT IS COLD.

We are lucky to live somewhere warm.

Imagine someone who lives somewhere cold and has to park their car outside. I shudder to think of all those components at 20 degrees F

I feel bad for my interior when it's 110 degrees outside, especially in the sun.

XPEL prime is the answer. The car is definitely warm but not hot after sitting in the sun all day (90 degrees weather).

Best investment so far as just below $1k.

You may have just cast bad omen/juju on your M.

Under $1k to XPEL the entire car?

To tint yes, XPEL Prime XR Plus.
The PPF on the Porsche was closer to $6k, no breaks there.

Ah, got it! I thought you were referencing the body panels and I thought, "wow, that's dirt cheap!"
