I second the comments regarding prep and the use of ExoV5 over CSL. Be sure to work in good lighting so you can check for high spots when leveling the coatings. I also suggest that you don't have the dealer wash or otherwise prep the painted surfaces prior to delivery. My CA was aware of my OCD regarding this and took care of it for me. Nonetheless there were some minor swirls/scratches that needed to be polished. I recommend polishing the whole car after decon and prior to doing the coatings.

I've had CSL and ExoV4 on my M340 and my wife's Infiniti QX30 for over 2 years now. Both spend half the time in the driveway and half in the garage. I am very pleased with the gloss, slickness, and water beading. Bugs come off the front with very little effort.

I recommend using a good car shampoo and I add P&S Beadmaker as a drying agent.
Best of luck with the new ride.
