Cant remove 845!

[Sunshyne]

OK I am a liar but I am definitely having issues removing 845 off my hood. I washed today with Dawn it didn't really do anything to it.

Anyone have any recommendations to remove wax off a surface? Is the Griots Pre-Wax cleaner something I can try?

thanks in advance

Go to autozone Walmart national auto etc. and pick up some klean strip prep all ..rustoleum has a prep solution too. Haven't tried it.

I use klean strip after all my dawn washes. (well after claying and polishing)

Spray with APC agitate with wash mitt, rinse off. That should do the trick. If not, Griot's Paint Prep would be the correct product. Their Pre-Wax cleaner is used to remove polishing oils.

Just re-apply the wax with the D/A and wipe it off shortly after. This should remove the dried on residue.

Ryan's got you covered....:props:

I think the OP wants to strip 845 off the surface. At the first glance I thought he was having trouble removing the residue as well.

apologies gents, to make it clear I am trying to strip not remove residue.

Unless it's old Dawn won't strip it and kill the beading-it's too tough. I find it takes a couple of APC washes to make a dent in Collinite. I prefer Optimum Power Clean.

A dawn wash, and claying should take care of it.

A poster on here recently said 845 can't survive a touch less auto wash. Might want to give that a shot if one is nearby.

And THIS thread is why I use 845, great stuff.

Gonna take some APC probably. And clay, and maybe a paint cleaner or polish.
