Can paint sealant be stripped like wax can, or is it a whole other subject?

Paint Surface Cleaning:
Paint cleaner (1:1 solution Distilled water / Isopropyl alcohol , Autoglym Paint Renovator, Groit’s Paint Prep, DuPont Prepsol) will remove old wax, polish, silicones or polymer sealants to enable car care products to adhere (bond) to paint film surface or to prepare surfaces for repainting. It will not damage plastic lens (tail lights/side markers) or fabric convertible tops, rubber or vinyl surfaces, but try to avoid these areas

Apply paint cleaner to a panel (i.e. hood) by spraying and let it soak for about 5 minutes
With a clean damp 100% cotton towel lightly wipe over the area to remove residue
When paint panels have been cleaned use clean water and a hose to rinse thoroughly.I don't subscribe to the use of dishwasing (Dawn) to remove sealant from a paint surface as most sealants are formulated to be detergent resistant

So, it can't be stripped by car wash soap or degreasers?

Depending on degreaser strenght, yes it can. It will probably damage paint along with it. As far as car wash soap - sealant are very durable against that. Even Dawn will have hard time stripping a sealant.
