They also offered a 5-year warranty against any interior mishaps such as rips, tears, fading, wearing, stains, watermarks... just about anything but a burn hole. It also covers wheel rash and replacement tires if you run over something, and as a bonus a new fob every year for 5 years.
The two warranties combined pretty much cover anything that would be out of pocket that you couldn't submit through insurance... all for about $25 USD additional per month on a 5-year loan.
Was anyone else offered these types of warranties when they bought their car?

Opti-coat is a good coating. It uses Sic rather than Sio2. Main difference being that SIC actually bonds with the clear coat rather than sit ontop.
Most dealers use some cheap unknown coating that is junk and should be avoided. My dealer did this. I ended up doing it my self.
Also opti-coat doesn't really resist scratches. It will resist wash induced marring/swirls a bit. It's one of the overblown stereotypes of ceramic coatings. The car stays cleaner longer and washes easier which in turn helps reduce wash induced scratches, marring and swirls.
Hopefully you have a bottle of opti-coat hyper-seal for iyour coating. Really makes the coating pop.
