At the risk of throwing another "must have" at you, but do you have an IPA product for panel prep prior to apply wax/sealant/coating? These remove polishing oils to provide a good bond of your chosen protection product.

I use CarPro Eraser, smells amazing, but you could also look at Gyeon Prep, Gtechniq Panel Wipe, NV Clarity or Bowdens Flash Prep.

Its like you can read my mind DFB. I have some Gyeon Q2M Prep in my cart that I'll order along with the light. I might just change that to Carpro Eraser now.

I have not used Prep, mainly because I have always enjoyed using Eraser. I also have NV Clarity but Eraser is the better product. Warning though, you will want to use Eraser all the time, it smells so good. Luckily it also doubles as a good glass cleaner, and I use it to clean my computer.

I ended up ordering this from Waxit:
https://www.waxit.com.au/products/ma...sentials-kit-1

With the WAXIT10 code it was only $120. I added some Carpro Eraser as well.

Have you ever thought of making your own Youtube channel? I figure you would do well putting your knowledge out there.
