Not sure about other places but the manual I got specified 3000KMs break-in period for "optimum peformance"
I'll come back to you guys with results if I try out against the shelby.
Little out of topic question, when I removed the stickers/covers off the car, it produced some swirl marks/scratches on the body, I'm gonna go wrap it with Xpel Ultimate on the 9th, but any idea how can I get rid of those swirls/scratches first? Will polishing/waxing get the job done? I heard it'll just make it worse.

Trade X Middle East LLC Distributor - GCC
PO Box 28587, Dubai Investment Park View Map
Dubai,
I already phoned them and set up an appointment on the 9th. You'll need to call atleast 1-2 weeks beforehand cause the appointment they gave me was 2 weeks later from the call.
I'll look into one, I guess I'll have to go before applying the protection. Does anyone here know a good detailing shop in the UAE? I don't really have much experience in that side haha..

If you go to Xpel's website and go to the UAE installer locator ( http://locator.xpel.com/clearbra_ins..._Arab_Emirates ) it comes up with this: Trade X Middle East LLC Distributor - GCC PO Box 28587, Dubai Investment Park View Map Dubai, I already phoned them and set up an appointment on the 9th.

A friend had his 997tt done there too and they arranged for it to be detailed beforehand. Perhaps speak to them of you want to get it detailed before fitting xpel.

My friend had pretty bad sand paper scratches on his car from when the dealer fixed a dent on his front bumper (pretty bad job by the dealer). Speak to Wayne at Tradex and ask him to get your car polished before applying, thats what we did with his car and it seems to have removes the scratches. Im guessing your scratches would be less evident.
I asked the dealer not to wash my car before delivery. Couldn't trust them to do it properly as I would like it to be done. When i got delivery of my car it was filthy, dust all over the car and thank god they hadnt washed it, coz the guy was washing another car right next to mine with a dirty cloth and a bucket (not even a power wash).

I've spoken to Wayne about the appointment already, I'll have to speak with him again regarding the detailing, it's only a little area behind both car doors. Hopefully it clears up. Thanks for your input!
And thanks alot everyone for your awesome comments!

Man.. I thought I was the only maniac, I did the exact same thing, told the dealer not to wash the car or wipe/clean it or do anything to it, that I wanted to receive it with its stickers. The car arrived filthy as you said but I'd rather receive it that way and wash it myself than have the dealer wash it with towels they wiped another car's tyres with 20mins beforehand.

I did the same as well because of the scene I saw at the dealer! Dirty T shirt and a bucket of water...

I thought I was complete with a C2S. I guess I have more to aspire towards. That thing looks incredible!
PS: I wonder how much that Chevy Silverado costs in the UAE, $125K?
