Paint Wax Remover Spray?

[craigv]

I would like to polish the paint this winter while the car is in winter hibernation. I won’t be able to hand wash the car because of too cold temps so that rules out removing the wax with a washed based product. I want to start with a clean surface so as to see the true condition of the paint. It has Souveran as a base and then maintained with crystal Mist.

I searched the forum but did not get anything to pop up. Griots had a “wax remover” spray but it is no longer offered.

Does anyone know of a spray product that will remove the wax on the paint? Spray on....maybe some light agitation and then wipe off with a towel. The surface is bare and ready to polish.

Will this be done outside or in a garage? With either method you could do a waterless wash on the panel, then spray with a coating prep product (eg. CarPro Eraser, Blackfire Paint Prep) to help remove the current protection.

The car is clean. It never gets dirty. Just dusty.

I will be working on the car inside the garage.

When you polish the paint surface the polish will remove your wax protection from your vehicle. Once you polish the paint surface you can reapply the Pinnacle Souveran Wax.

"Wax Remover" are usually for removing wax residue from plastic trim panels.

I personally haven't tried the Poorboy's World Strip Down Wax Stripper, but I've heard it's a great product.

Waterless Washes and Rinseless Washes are perfect for cleaning your car in the garage. I would recommend using a bunch of microfiber towels with either wash method.

In my opinion there is no need to strip the existing LSP prior to polishing. Polishing will accomplish that.

That said, if you are dead set on stripping the finish prior to polishing there are many solvents that will accomplish the task.

A cheap, readily available, and effective example is mineral spirits. In addition there are many task specific solvents out there.

Poorboy’s has something, not sure how well it works but is advertised as being what you want:

There's always a panel prep wipe that's paint safe if you feel the need to strip first.

If you mix up some Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle just soapy enough to provide lube for a clay bar to glide easily without stopping, you'll definitely remove any wax present.
Polishing followed by an IPA wipe will accomplish the same thing.

Yeah polishing gonna remove wax anyways.

If you want to use a product and are waterless or rinse less washing..... try McKees N-914 rinse less wash and get a gallon. It can be diluted as a paint prep according to instructions.

If your polishing just polish not removing wax you’ll be ok. Use a paint prep after which will remove ant residual polish and wax.
