    Wheel Coating or Protection

    I don't find the need to use a wheel cleaner. Soap and water is all that is needed. I will on occasion use an iron remover to decon the wheel.

    Wheel Coating or Protection

    It is not any more difficult than coating the paint. You have plenty of options such as CarPro DLUX, 22ple VM1. They are not hard to use it all and no need to worry as I already mentioned. If those wheels are matte then you have to choose wisely on what products to use on them. A coating...

    I personally don't like the spray and rinse. From my experience they attract more dirt that having a true coating on them. I get that many like it for the ease of application.

    3D one 3D ceramic Plan!

    Wash with a soap that contains no waxes or gloss enhancers. And most coating manufacturer recommend some sort of top up product. I believe 3D offers bead it up but I have not looked too deeply into their line up. Chemically decontaminate it with an iron remover at least once a year.

    Polisher upgrade

    If you are planning to go cordless get the CBEAST. The XFE doesn't have the cutting power and is more for finishing. You get 2 batteries with the CBEAST and that is plenty. Keep the PC for finishing until you pick up the XFE at a later time.

    3D one 3D ceramic Plan!

    No need to wash with Dawn. A regular car soap will work just fine. If anything you can add a little APC to the soap to increase the cleaning power. No need to get caught up in the stripping anything off. The polishing process will do that for you. I would consider an iron remover in your...
