stripping old wax

[Torsion Tool]

I need to wash the Beast and really like the Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion to strip old wax. She now has Klasse HGSG (4 months old) topped with Collinite 845 and SSII (2 months old). Expect it will remove the waxes, but how will it affect the Klasse? Will top again with Collinite, then spray Souveran a week later. It's probably too cold (near freezing) to properly treat with the Klasse twins these days. Thoughts, please.

The Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing lotion may likely strip the Klasse sealant. Why do you want to strip the Collinite?

Why not clay the finish with some fine grade clay, and then just apply more wax?

Most paint cleansers will chemically strip a sealant. If you are going to polish (abrade) or use Klasse AIO you will likely remove anything that the paintcleanser missed. And thats an "if" ...

Clayed this year already when I last polished in July. Probably will skip the PCL just because it's too cold at 33 F. Likely will just wash and retop with more Collinite to get through the holidays, then wait till Spring for another full detail with intermiuttend CM or AW in between. Always want to do more than advisable or necessary, I guess. Many thanks.

I've got Klasse topped with LS on my own car. I just keep layering carnauba until time to strip it. I always strip Klasse with Klasse AIO.

A fine grade clay will not strip your wax. It will get your car clean, then you can just top it off with more wax.

How about washing the car with a dish detergent such as Dawn?

Or an IPA wipedown.
