I also had them PPF the hood and front, headlamps, and side mirrors. Which is probably my first mistake... don't PPF the car until it's had a professional detail! The dealer did a pretty good detail but I'm sure you'd spot a lot of problems. But I've had the machine for five weeks now and love it.

Yeah, a basic kit would be fine. Nothing too crazy...

car wash shampoo
wax
wheel cleaner
wheel protectant
tire cleaner
leather conditioner
something for the inside vinyls, etc.

Whatever else I'm not thinking about.

Yes, overall the car is in great shape. I guess the only issue is that there is PPF all over the front of the car so whatever products you recommend would have to work on the PPF.

EDIT: I should have mentioned the PPF is Avery Nano-Fusion which is supposed to be great for waxing vs. the 3M product.

I picked this up this polisher on the weekend... not sure if it would suffice...

I believe that should do it.
