I'm looking for a product easy to use I don't not want to use a lotion type product which requires use of da. so I'm in need of something that will strip wax-sealant as simple as washing the vehicle or spray on and wipe off. my 1st choice is optimum power clean. this product is so versatile . how many ounces per gallon of water is needed for this? and then at what ratio is needed to be used to spray on and wipe off? any other product recommendations is welcome too . thanks

For OPC I use it 3:1 on paint.

Check out Griot's Paint Prep and see if it is what you are looking for.

It's a spray, let dwell, wipe product. I think the Griot's website has a video of how to use it. I used it on a car where the lsp was completely shot and I just wanted a clean surface, so I can't really say how well it works but it was easy to use.

Power clean is a great choice but you must rinse the car off when you're done. You could also do a simple Dawn wash to strip it.

Adding Dawn to your wash bucket helps. Or like others have mentioned, OPC.

I decided to try OPC today after I finished polishing prior to applying the LSP. When used like a detailer (light spray and wipe) it seemed to be quick drying (surprise to me) and I was not in the mood to work small areas. This was my first attempt with OPC (admit I was tired after 8 hrs or so) so not sure what was going on.

Griots Paint Prep or Griots Pre Wax Cleanser work well IME!

In another thread Mike Phillips, made reference to Klean-Strip (Prep-All), Wax and Grease Remover. My initial inquiry would be, could this be used as a substitute for mineral spirits and IPA ??? The container was one-gallon.

OPC should NOT be used like a QD on paint. It MUST be rinsed off. (or you are going to leave some serious residue and your LSP will wipe right off).

Yes, I figured it out very quickly.
