    I seal the XPEL Ultimate PPF that's on my vehicle
    with XPEL's Flawless Finish Film Sealant.

    I use only WG DGLS on CB material, simply because there is no wax or residue to catch in the edges. Then, I top it off with WG spray sealant every now and then.

    With this combo, use can simply use a pressure washer to get 99% of bugs off.

    That's good, sound advice.

    For stubborn bug residue, I would recommend soaking a microfiber towel with warm water and setting it on the area for 10-15 minutes. This will soften the bug residue, making it very easy to remove.

    The XPEL Ultimate PPF is not as picky as to
    what LSPs can and cannot be applied to them,
    as are their other type of PPF films; or even other
    Manufacturers' Brands

    As such:
    AquaWax may be OK until you decide to use
    what I will call: a more dedicated "sealer".


    IMO...The main thing is:
    Get some protection on there ASAP;
    the longer you wait, the more contaminated
    the PPF film becomes. Then you got more than
    just bugs to clean up before applying an LSP.

    Re: Xpel Bug removal

    i will be getting the Xpel sealant soon..one last thing to prep the surface since i have aquawax on it can i use Ultima Paint Prep Plus & Applicator, prewax cleanser, prewax polish, cleaner polish ?
    since its non-abrasive polish to prep the film..
