Good to know because I'm still not sure if I'll go with Opti-Coat Pro Plus for my M2 when I'll receive it. Originally the opti-coat installer guy told me that the best way to wash an Opti-coated car is, first to begin by rinsing the car with water to remove dirt, then use the big red sponge (no it is not a joke) with the special soap for opti-coat to wash the car small part by small part (example : wash the top and dry the top, then wash the hood then dry the hood and so on an so forth). Today he also told me that this is not absolutly mandatory and the car can be wash like any other car (as you do) but that might create micro-scratches on the car finish. The big red sponge and the special opti-coat soap is a better solution according to him but I find it complicated compared to a traditional hand car wash.
What was your 135i color ?
