Now, how do I get this stuff off?
Thanks you you guys I have Collinite paste wax and bi-weekly sessions with Duragloss rinseless on my car, that cling to the finish like a free-climber to the side of El Capitan.
Now it's springtime. How do I get this stuff off? I know that Dawn doesn't work. I've tried. At least it doesn't help with the Collinite. Is a good whack with Citrus wash sufficient, or should I try something else?

Use an APC then polish the car. You should have a nice clean surface to start with after.

The proper steps are to clay the car (+/- Iron X), and then use some type of product designed to polish paint on the paint. The product can be a paint cleaner or a polish.
Trying to chemically strip you LSP is doing nothing good for your paint.

It's very hard to actually remove an LSP chemically. It's faster and easier to use clay.

I'm not convinced claying removes a good LSP. Never seen any proof of it actually removing a LSP.

I agree. If you clay correctly, the clay should pretty much glide over the paint everywhere - except where contamination is. Dudes who remove LSP with clay are prolly either scrubbing their paint with clay or just not removing it. No wonder there are so many "marring with clay" threads. I marred my paint with clay as well - before I knew how to do it correctly.
One the other hand, if your going to polish - you should always clay first. Since polishing with *something*'is the correct way to remove your LSP, claying is just a part of the polishing preparation.

I don't want to use abrasives unless it's necessary to correct scratches
What kind of all purpose cleaner do you guys recommend? First choice is over-the-counter. Second choice is cheap mail order.

Re: Now, how do I get this stuff off?
Again, why do you want to remove it?
As others have mentioned, a good way is a paint cleaner, sometimes called a pre-wax cleaner. Something along these lines:
BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish, prewax polish, car polish
Detailer's Coating Prep Polish, clear coat polish, best car polish
Wolfgang Pre-Wax Polish Enhancer is absolutely fabulous for producing that elusive, show-ready wet-shine look. This polish actually enhances and

Sonus Paintwork Cleanser Prewax Polish, pre-wax car polish, Sonus paint cleaner
Ultima Paint Prep Plus & Applicator, prewax cleanser, prewax polish, cleaner polish
These types of products are generally described as "non-abrasive". Of course, it would be easier to help you if we understood what your objective was.

Soaking a car in APC isn't necessarily the best thing for the rest of your trim.
To answer your question, my favorite is P21S Total Auto Wash.
