Question "The Protector" Paint Shield/Interior Shield

I know about the high markup on these items and I've always opted not to get them. While haggling over the final price for my 2004 RX 330, the dealer threw in the treatments for free. I figured what the hell, why not, they come with a 5-year warranty.

Now I’m wondering how to remove bugs from my car without damaging the Paint Shield? I have used many different types of cleaners including bug and tar remover on previous vehicles and they worked fine. I’m just not comfortable using something that might remove the Paint Shield.

Has anyone with this type of Paint Shield used wax over the shield?

Can you post a pic. ? I am curious to see what the paint shield looks like. I think it looks just like the Xpel if i'm right.

Have you tried just washing normally ?

Do you want a picture of the RX 330 or the product?

Only had it 48 hours so haven't washed it yet. I'll wash it tomorrow to see if everything comes off OK.
