Here are some quick shots from the detailer after nanolex and xpel (last page). After it's tinted next week, I'll take some professional-ish pix. Unless someone wants to volunteer their real photography skills.

If I had to choose, I'd go for the Gyeon Quartz coating treatment (as in the MG M2 pictures of this thread) instead of a wrap.

But the wrap and coating have different purposes. Mine is wrapped with the coating over it.

Does that protect from dings too, or is it just a hydrophobic coating?

I don't think any of those CQuartz, Optipro coatings protects against dings...you really need PPF for that.

Was so sure about LBB. Now I will probably switch no MG...

The LBB official photos look really nice, but someone has posted one from a X6 saying that is the real hue and TBH I didn't like it a lot.

Here it will be very difficult from me to see one of each in person before deciding. I guess the MG is a less risky option. Besides I prefer low profile driving as opposed to the LBB "hey world! A M2 right here".
