For $70 bucks and DIY its better than any wax imo.

Modesta is even better from what I know but that requires the heat lamps and you can not even buy it unless you are a professional detailer. You are also looking at a minimum of 1200-1500 for Modesta.

What are the prep work you need to do? I read the product description it said you'll need optimum polish to remove any defect and clean it with 15% IPA solution afterwards, are those the steps you do?

When you say the paint is fresh, you mean right after getting it from dealership? or it can be a few days after that too?

I'm still new to the DIY scene so I'm trying to be as careful as possible before I start the project
