Best coating/film/clear bra combo for NYC driving

Hey all - I was wondering if anyone had advice on the best combination of coating (e.g., Opticoat), PPF (e.g., XPEL), and/or clear bra for preventing paint damage in NYC (Brooklyn mostly) driving conditions. Any good/bad experiences from previous Bimmer owners?

Also lmk if there is a better forum to ask this!

They sell it everywhere. I bought mine from amazon. Its a spray on application. You can do it yourself. Look up 3M PAINT DEFENDER system on youtube and watch the vids
