Or for a bit more money and effort, GTechnics Crystal Serum Lite is a DIYable ceramic coat.

As for staggered wheels, since the car is XDrive you just need to be mindful that the final rolling diameter has to be very close to the same front and rear so as not to stress the drivetrain. I forget the percentage, but there are lots of posts on this subject, or somebody else will chime in. And there are websites that can run calculations for you - like "Will it Fit".
Thanks. Yeah I'll have to have a detailing shop take a look at it to see if paint correction is enough or if certain areas need to be repainted (the front bumper may need to be repainted)
