I started yesterday and finished this morning. Detailed, washed, waxed, interior, dash, under the hood, wheels and tires. Changed the oil and filter, air filter and cabin air filter. I'm coming up on two years of ownership and got to say I'm still loving this little car. This car still looks as new, interior is spotless,
no one has sat in the rear except me to clean it. The only scratch I found was from me, my pocket knife rubbed on the door as I was leaning into the front seat to load my gear for work...darn it, that's what the rear hatch is for. Lesson learned. The bonus, it matches the colors of my house and driveway.
I've been looking for another and am shocked at the prices...7k more than I paid two years past. I've seen them on Carvana selling for $20k with higher mileage than mine. I did find this very clean blue on near me with
leather interior asking $10,500.00 I would actually rather have a clean maintained one owner, especially for the price. The cheapest new garbage vehicles are several times that price and not reliable or easy to work on.
xB is looking clean! If the scratch isn't too deep you might be able to wet sand it out.
It's through the paint to bare metal. I'll need to apply the dreaded "touch up" paint, or see if I can find a match in nail polish. The suck part is I have to look at it every time I get in the car. BAM, staring me in the face as a reminder of my dumb actions.
I searched my orders and can't find it. They are a fiber mesh layered sound deadening floor matt. Precision fit, laser cut soft water proof matts. They were inexpensive, a fraction of the cost of the WeatherTech brand I have in my 4Runner which are hard plastic slippery and show all the dirt.
I thought I bought them on Amazon, although a search of my purchases strikes out. Probably eBay...I'll do a little more searching and get back with you. I highly recommend them if I can provide better info for you.

Found it, I bought them on eBay. Here's the product description below. The Brand is "Kagu".

Awesome car!
Would you say they made a sizable difference in road/tire/wind noise? My xD is pretty noisy on the highway but don't really want to put in the time/money to sound deaden all the panels; this could be a good bandaid solution.

I honestly did not notice a difference, although I ordered all my goodies before my car arrived from Carvana, so I had them in since day one of ownership. No real comparison. My Gen2 road noise is not bad, but neither are the roads I commute on. I did notice substantially more road noise on bad /rough road surfaces. The mats are nice, look good, soft and easy to clean, non staining like my Weathertech which are way overpriced hard plastic crap.

Took me forever, but I finally bought them!
Bought and installed on a 2011 (even as order says 2013 and up) Fitment seems fine. Other than a little space between the mat and fuel door hinge, its lazer tight. Rear is amazingly tight.
@semscion could you take a picture of your front driver side, next to the fuel door hinge? Id like to see if there is a difference with yours.
Another detail at 53k miles, tried a new cleaner wax...Zymol, this stuff is amazing and smells great too. The car looks shiny/wet like a new clear coat. Very pleased with this wax.
I like the Zymol too. Smells like coconut suntan lotion.
With a white car, I need a wax with a bit of color (pale blue) or its hard to see where I put it.
They seemed to have stopped selling it around here and are now pushing all those "ceramic" waxes.
Probably have to resort to internet
Nice looking car there - no "usage" marks
Rich,
I found it in stock at my local auto parts store. AutoZone. It can be found on Amazon as well. I do use a ceramic quick detail spray n wipe over the wax after washing between "real wax applications"
The stores must hate me then (it's personal). Just checked autozone, oreillys, napa, pep boys & Walmart on-line and nothing.
I can find it on amazon, so my spelling must be OK. Rockauto has 3M products.
I do realize that stock on store shelves can be different, but it doesn't bode well. Makes me want to curse

I just ordered more and found it available from Amazon, Walmart and AutoZone. Careful, it smells so good you want to eat it.
