Opticoat Pro and Clear Bra PFF. Help!

Hey guys!

I just bought a 2015 CWP BRZ limited and i have been thinking about getting Opticoat and Clear bra

First i am very anal about keeping her in great condition, i didn't let the dealership even take off the stickers on the car when it got off the truck. no wash, not even take off the interior wrapping. She is always garaged and only out in the sun 4 days a week while I'm at work.

Now, 3 weeks later I'm thinking about getting Opticoat Pro and "Nano Fusion PPF" clear bra. Pretty much I'm gonna get this done at a place that is 5 star rated, 400 reviews from yelp that also put on my tint the first week i bought the car. These guys are real nice and are constantly working on high end cars, i saw lambs, ferraris, range rovers, porsche, etc... there when i visited.

Pretty much the clear bra will come out to 350 pre tax which will just be for the front bumper, headlights and like four inches of the hood, and to opti coat the rest of the car would be about 750 including prep/correction (which shouldn't be much she's brand new and i wash her myself using the two bucket system with the right equipment) The clear bra has a lifetime warranty and the optic oat has a 5 year warranty i believe.

What do you guys think? are both services worth it? should i just get the clear bra and not the optic oat? from my understanding the optic oat makes it so you don't have to ever wax your car, just wash it like you normally would and it will always looked like its waxed. is this true?

I was debating spending the money on doing this, or just going in once a year for a full detail for about 130 bucks, it was recommended that i go in twice a year for the 130 detail service, which if i did the optic oat would pay for itself in 2-3 years. so basically I'm debating between optic oat (if it is what i described earlier) or just going in and getting it waxed annually (should ig et it clay barred and full detail twice a year? or is once a year fine). What do you guys think?


PS. im not even sure i will be keeping this car forever, if the next generation brz has forced induction or the different engine in it with more power, or if i decide to buy a more "grown up" car in 5-7 years, i want to minimize how much money i lose, so would optic oat and clear bra be a big selling point? keep in mind I'm not planning on getting rid of her, but just exploring situations if i had to. Thanks guys

John
