Maintenance on top of 3m?

So this has been my go to forum for sometime now for detailing advice.

I finally picked up a new fun car yesterday, a pristine 2018 z06. The car happens to have essentially a 3 full 3m cover. So my optimum norinse should be fine for cleaning but other than that never having a car covered not 100% sure on the process.

I am mostly using BF products, still have some crystal seal but will have to switch over soon to the new SI02 spray.

I assume from a materials perspective I can and should still use a sealant of some type but the polishes like BF Total Polish and Seal, I'm now done with for this car at least?

Did a search over last 2 years and haven't seen any threads talking about this.

So you mean the car is fully wrapped, right?

There are lots of matte and vinyl products that you can use. Chemical Guys has good ones that I have used.

I may get flamed for this but I don't do anything different for the protective film parts of my car (about 35% of the paint is covered) than I do for the rest of it. I use Glen e's rinse-less process for washing and then BF Si02 sealant products over everything. Works great for me - the car has a great shine and the water and dust just slide off. I like low maintenance and easy peasy especially when the results are great.
