R56 Clear Mask/Invisishield
Whatever you decide to do, do not have the dealer do it. Number one, they will rip you off terribly and as MeloR56 noted, number two, find someone who knows what they are doing. I have this protection on my Mini and my 335i and it was done by a shop that does an excellent job. I've been using them for 10 years whenever I get a new car. I paid about $500 for the Mini. The dealer wanted $1200 ! ! ! Nuf said.

i got an invisishield just after i purchased the car and it works great
you can prevent it from miscoloring by keeping the car extremely clean all the time and keep a layer of wax on the portions all the time

I measured what 3/4 cb coverage on the bonnet would look like, and all I have to say is freaky-tiki 
at least the scoop provides a logical break point for the line. With 3/4 it'd be ALL line, and I really have to question that...
And no it's not necc to wax Invisishield. The wax I use (Klasse AIO) is $24/bottle, so I'm not about to use it on soemthing that doesnt need it

I also use AIO, but then following it with UPP.

Do you apply any type of synthetic sealant then afterwards? If not, take a look at Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection for an amazing slick shine.

yeah that's what the Sonus Acrylic Glaze is, a synsealant designed specifically to work with K-AIO. Absolutely love the stuff, sooooooo slick even Cosmoline doesnt stick (too bad).
I tried the Klasse glaze, but application was too difficult and time consuming.

That is a spray correct? Sounds comparable to Ultimate Paint Protection Spray; for more durability, give Ultimate Paint Protection a try.

I use them both actually; UPP and then UPPS in between applications.
