Lightbulb Need Help: Opti Coat or not?

Hi guys. I was thinking to put opti coat on my car. Just for your information it is a jet black 135i coupe. I got a quote from auto shop in my area for $450 includes 2 or 3 stage polished, buffing etc and of course the opti coat itself. Does someone else try it before on their dark color car? I know for sure that it helps to clean bugs, water spot, etc easier. The detailer told me that it will last at least 3 to 4 years and he doesn't believe about the statement it will last for the lifetime of the car since it might be way more than 5 years.

Other than that, there are also some ceramic coating such as cquartz and aquartz. Just let me know your experience with it since I might do ceramic coating rather than opti coat.

Really need your opinion guys, whether good or bad. Pros and cons of doing opti coat itself. Appreciate your opinions and comments.
