removing wax
i want a good product that i could use to remove old wax from the whole car. Im not sure what wax etc. the dealer used on the car so i want to start fresh again. any reccomendations? also a product to remove any old tire dressings?

removing wax... Clay will do this and also prepare the surface for waxing, Klasse AIO is one of my favorites, rubbing alcohol, diluted apc as a car wash, any polish. I also use APC to remove tire dressings, topoftheline.com sells a great tire cleaner from what I hear, though I havent tried it. Hope that helps

sorry, its All Purpose Cleaner. Simple Green, Purple Power, Mequiars makes one in their pro line, Charlie's APC, stuff like that. Just dilute to your desired strength/needs

Poorboy's ProPolish is another good cleaner of paint. It should remove any wax that you have by either PC or by hand.

Klasse All In One is my first choice. However, P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser & Pinnacle Paintwork Cleanser work quite nicely as well.

yes AIO has acrylic sealant protection also, but it really becomes bulletproof when using SG (pure sealant) together. If you have swirls and will need to polish, this may not be the best plan of attack. If finish is good, and you simply want to remove and replace its not a bad option.
when I want to strip the car down to bare and start over, I usually clay and polish the surface. Both remove wax and sealants. If you really want to get serious, wipe the car down with 70% alcohol and 30% water mixture first, then wash as normal. 3M also sells a wax and adhesive remove that does the same thing.

Interesting. I have a liner in my Tacoma and have paint sealant on the edge of it. Somehow it gets white now after I wash/dry my car. I'll give the alcohol 70% a shot.

Clay won't remove most wax. But the other options are all there.
