Good job … I had to laugh I too have so many detail products I could open a shop after driving home my xm label in frozen black . I to studied opinions for hours weeks and months . If gloss paint maybe I would ceramic prepped and sprayed myself but for sure test the inside door first .
I did PPF on the front hood and front end happy I did that and even more happy I stopped there no matter what anyone says at times for sure I can see a different and spared no penny getting my PPf .

I do like Jimbo’s detailing talking about do not bucket unless you absolutely have to otherwise foam cannon … and I don’t rinse before the foam if that’s what you did mean I get better results . I do a pre soak with a sprayer and it helps . If my other cars which I drive more need more I degrease pre soak and cannon half soap half degreaser and really using the bucket and rags or sponges touching the cars .

I wish I never many chemicals on my car if I hit the restart button for sure ..

Many cover there frozen paints for good reason I get it but to me to cover up such nice paint is expensive and defeats having the nice paint . If Rocks land on my car or chips happen you know it’s life I ll cross that bridge whatever it is .

Good luck with your car and learning more me it’s a process that I enjoy and want to keep it natural with water based products also .
Funny one I have the expensive Swissvax and bmw matte wax both not cheap I use the wax on my windshield it works great but won’t use on my cars paint . Learning
Good luck

You remove it & replace it - not a big deal for those doing it everyday.

Thanks, I was thinking sun heat over year or two could degrade foil glue and that that could cause problems.
