sure

Xpel protects the paint from rock chips and road debris.

Nanolex protects the paint - think of it as a super sealant - no need to wax or seal your car for up to 20k-30k miles.

XPEL goes over the paint though right? So is the other product going on top of the XPEL?

It goes over the XPEL where applied, most people don't put paint protection film over the entire car. Usually it's done on the leading edges and areas most likely to get stone chips.

The paint coating goes everywhere and helps protect the paint from light scratching, water marks, bird dropping etchings, etc. It won't protect from stone chips or offer much protection from door dings.

Immaculate work. Great documentation too.

If I lived in the northeast, I'd have you protect my CP M3.

Definitely a fantastic job and almost more important on a BSM - Like most above I wish we had a place like this in my city in Canada. We have detail shops but not like this.

I'm assuming from all the reading I've done and xpel this and xpel that it is the best product on the market? My brother in law is the 3M rep in his city and does 'new car' work at the benz dealership etc. but i'm assuming that is an inferior product?

How long should you wait after the Xpel to apply the Nanolex, 24 hours?

as long as the film is set and looking good you can apply once you feel the film is ready.
