I have, in the past, with no resistance from them. A nice tip can work wonders

If you want to wash your car yourself, ONR is ideal for such a situation, as you only need a few buckets and quite a few microfiber towels, but no hose. ONR + Hyperseal (paint sealant) would be a good combination.

Alternative would be to find a detail place that will apply the Rejex instead of their usual final finish. Where I am there is a detail place that agreed to apply the Rejex instead of their standard Carnauba finish for an extra $25. It is best applied away from direct sun and away from flying fine dust. Rejex is literally easy wipe on easy wipe off. If you want to apply two coats you have to allow 8 hours for the first coat to cure. If I were you I will find an old friend with garage to visit over an weekend. Take them out for a good dinner, enjoy the company at the same time. .

Protection Film and Ceramic Coatings on the other hand, and several thousand dollars.
++1. Small plane owners use it on their planes and specially along the leading edge of the wing, stuck bugs come off easy Areas surrounding many small airports are buggy.

Ask to speak with Greg or Jason (the owners) and let them know Max with the S5 recommended you.
What was the pricing?
