Hi KT I was told not to wash it for a week after I got mine done. Needs to harden a bit I believe. It takes 30 days to harden completely.

After the wash this evening, I applied Rain-X on the windscreen and all the windows. Now they should go hand-in-hand with the opticoat! :-)

Have you had issues with your wipers in the past using Rain-X? I recall someone saying it made matters worse for them. I did find it odd.

Also, been watching Drive Youtube channel on Drive Clean by AMMO NYC. Really like the detailed videos on how to maintain the car and wonder anyone knows where to buy in Australia. Shipping from US is expensive!
Short answer - No. But after 30 days I used Dodo Juice Purple Haze Wax ( soft wax made for dark coloured cars - I have mineral grey) after using ph balanced car wash and it looks great. Would work well on EBII as well.
