My Model S shows up in a couple weeks, and I've pretty much decided on doing a full wrap of PPF--either XPEL Ultimate or Suntek, I haven't decided yet. My installer recommends the latter, but I know a lot of people here love XPEL, so if you have any views on that issue, please do share. But that's not the main reason why I made this thread....
The main issue: is I'm looking for the best low-maintenance option to get a nice high gloss on top of the PPF. I don't want to have to wax my car every few months, so I'd prefer something with more permanency. Is the best option here to get Opticoat on top of the PPF? At first, I wasn't actually sure why people would get Opticoat when you already have a much thicker and more durable PPF beneath it, but then I realized it's probably because Opticoat gives a much nicer gloss?
Basically, I would like to be able to quickly wash the car at a standard self car-wash with no risk of swirls (enter PPF), while also having it look nice and generally glossy.
