Why not go through an automatic car wash? I leased my 350 so long term doesn't really matter to me but obviously I want it to look really nice in the time I have it. I always thought going through an automatic car wash would prevent those annoying swirls on the car? But then again I have a ultra white version.

Congrats! I was originally going to use opti-coat but I ended up opting for C. Quartz and till now I'm still very satisfied with it.
