Any chance you can find this? I just did my first car wash after my Xpel install and was looking at using the H2O Guard and Gloss since I still have some, otherwise I will order official Xpel products.
As CT mentioned below, we've had a few customers mention they prefer the Boost over the H20 guard on the paint protection film.

It looks as if the H20 Guard has less than 10% Petroleum Distillates, so it should be fine, I'd recommend test in a small area beforehand.

I use the car wash. Never a problem. Xpel never pulls off and after a year and a half there is no difference in paint quality. No wax on the car ever.

Yes, these are specifically formulated to compliment our paint protection film.

They are available on our website as well, and a reminder for all Corvette Forum members, there is a 10% discount for:

Aftercare Products (car wash, sealant, etc)
DIY kits (door edge guard, door sill guard, tracwrap, etc)
Apparel & Merch (t-shirts, hats, jackets, etc)

The promo code is: CorvetteForum10

Unfortunately, the discount does not apply to Film Kits for your vehicle or Installation.

Couldnt find the US spec sheets for the Meguiars mentioned from AlwaysRedDave, but the UK variant SDS sheets look to be safe, as they don't list petroleum distillates.

Ultimate quik wax sds

Ultimate quik detailer sds


Regarding Griots Speed Shine, that product is fine to use with XPEL.
Mothers Instant Detailer seems to be fine as well from their SDS sheet.
