This is correct. Opticoat isn't a forcefield against scratches. It can reduce marring. You still have to wash and detail with kid gloves (i.e. proper technique), like always.
Eleven11, I know you have BSM, how's your paint holding up? Do you see light scratches in sunlight? I am too OCD and have a very discerning eye. I just think my expectations were too high. I was expecting no scratches after a proper hand wash and dry.
