I am thinking of going back down the OptiCoat path for my 1M, but can't with the 3M VentureShield on. Thinking the odd stone chip is better than watermarks on the PPF. You can fix imperfections on the paint/OC, but not on the PPF. Also, when the PPF gets damaged, it looks bad and need to be replaced if you are OCD like I am...
This means we are never happy!

You can apply sealants to the PPF. I have even seen some put OC on their PPF.
