Thoughts on keeping paint finish during ED

I will be taking delivery of my 2013 Monte Carlo Blue M5 from the BMW Welt soon and upon return to the hotel immediately apply paint sealant such as OptiCoat or CQuartz. A friend suggested this, as he explains, will maintain the finish of the car and protect it from grime, bugs, bird droppings etc. and to a limited degree scratches and paint nicks due to minute stones hitting the body during the drive. Also, during ED, car washes may not be readily available to wash off bird droppings or tree sap whose acidic component will mar the paint surface -- the sealant will at least help prevent the immediate effect but will eventually need to be cleaned by washing. My question is, has anybody who has done ED did anything similar? I would also appreciate anybody's thoughts on this. Thanks.
