I'd recommend you start using a carnauba wax over your Zaino. Sealants are great, but they don't seem to resist etching damage as well as wax IME. The problem is the wax is truly a sacrificial barrier and will need to be kept up much more vigorously. Reapplying a thin layer every month or 90 days is preferred.
Excellent--thanks for the tips. I actually got the factory heat shield and installed it to keep the heat down, but haven't driven the car yet so not sure how much it'll help.

I also put Meguire's NXT wax on, as per VentureShield's recommendation (they have a short list of approved waxes to be used). Do you know if the NXT would provide wax-like protection on the paint protection film?
