    Are you guys talking about the cwc? It has in bold that it wont strip lsp's, is that just at its recommended concentration or is there another version I should be looking at?

    citrus (orange) will strip in a 3x concentration......or so ive read on detailedimage
     
  9. Hey, if your going to do a correction anyway, I can think of no better product then Ajax or Comet to aleviate any stubborn sealants/waxes. Heck, you may even be able to bypass claying also :paranoia:

    Let me guess your words to your lil angel.....:mad:

    WTF ARE YOU DOING TO DADDYS CAR...GET THE HELL AWAY NOW!!! :mad2:


    And of course her answer was probally this > :lala:

    Use showroom FX citrus wash... stuff is super strong!


    SFX-CPW Citrus Pre-Cleaner Concentrate:

    ShowroomFX's citrus pre-cleaner is a must for detailing. This cleaner is a natural derived citrus extract and it is 100% biodegradable. This is an eco alternative to solvent based pre-washes, and cleaners.
    Since it is highly concentrated you can dial in the level of strength that you need to clean.

    If you have strong protection, or protection that's still in good shape, it's mighty difficult to strip it off during the wash process.

    I've had the best success with Optimum Power Clean @ 3:1. Spray the panel down, wash with a normal car wash soap, rinse and any/all protection is completely gone.

    i've had a lot of success with zep citrus. depending on the level of protection on the paint, you can use one of any number of methods. it's safe for paint despite what the label says. just don't let it dry on there.

    -include an ounce of concentrate in your wash bucket along with your soap
    -dilute it with a foam gun and let it dwell for a few minutes
    -spray the panel with a 3:1 dilution and let it sit for an instant before washing
