    Question Car Wash to Strip Wax/Product From Car Paint Surface?

    What car wash do you folks receommend for removing old finishes from car surfaces? Dawn is recommended many times, but I have seen some recent posts that indicate it's bad for the paint & there are better, car specific, products.

    What would you recommend?

    Would appreciate the feedback about alternative choices, or any other opinions about the viability of using Dawn Dishwashing Detergent.

    Thanks.

    See ya.

    curious on this aswell, also how do you know if your supposed to take the previous stuff off. I know my car was last detailed by a proffessional detailer from the previous owner about a year ago, I wonder if I can just use a paint cleaner by hand application after claying it.

    I use 1.5 oz of ## CWClear and 1 oz of ## Strong Wash. It will strip just about anything. Squeeky clean afterwards.
