I watched a guy put on Opticoat to my 3-series.. then did it myself on my M5. It is asexually very easy... its the original pro form that was a bit difficult to apply. I did all this before putting my paint protection film on.

If you wash using ONR and then use in-between details with either optimum car wax (the spray kind which is amazing) or optimum instant detailer, the car remains very slick. Here where I am, there is a lot of blowing dust, and theopti products do great to capture that dust and lift it right of the car without any pressure. The opticoat bonds and hardens the clear coat, decreasing the likelihood of scratch and maintaining a hydrophobic surface.
