Coat your wheels and never use a wheel cleaner again. Only soap and water and the wheels will look better than ever before. Contact me if you want to do this and I will walk you through the process buddy

RoryLeach is infamous around these parts
I would consider using the cleaner foam to clean the interior and carpets.

Master Blaster blows (no pun intended) compared to high capacity air compressor. Not worth the investment IF you have a 175 psi air compressor. Takes too long to completely evacuate water from crevices.

Pun should be intended. I have to wear ear plugs when blowing out the crevices with the master blaster, it blows so hard! Every car I own can be dried in under 5 mins. Not sure what too long is, but 5 mins per car with a safe nozzle (rubber) seems reasonable. The fact that it rolls on the ground blowing heated and filtered air seems a bonus 🤘🏻

I fine the master blaster better than air compressor due to the pattern of air blown out and it's heated.

What's the best way to detail over PPF? Helping a friend wax a car where the front half is covered in PPF. Can a buffer go over it? Can I put sealer over it?

You can put a sealant or wax on top of it just like the paint, i would hand apply unless the buffer you are using has a light touch. REMEMBER with the buffer you will get wax into the edges of the PPF if there are any. A way to clean those us use a spray wax and a MF towel on those edges. IF you vehicle has Ceramic coatings DO NOT use a spray wax, they make sprays for coatings which is what you should be using.

Let mw know if there are any further questions
