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.

since its non-abrasive polish to prep the film..
