How to "switch" sealants - synthetic-to-Wax

[buffdaddy]

Newb question.

In order to compare, I used Carnuba wax for LSP on trunk and Klasse AIO and Klasse sealant/glaze on the hood.

Now, if I want to switch from wax to synthetic or synthetic to wax..... can I just use a fine polish to clean, prep and "remove" the current sealant.... then apply the new sealant?

Thanks in advance! :xyxthumbs:

yes

I agree with 04accord you could always just give the vehicle a wipe down with something like carpro eraser or just wash the vehicle with something like chemical guys citrus wash or a few squirts of dawn in your regular carwash solution to remove LSP(last step product/wax sealant) if one isn't looking for a pure flawless finish or is concerned about its clear coat thickness....just some thoughts

IMO:
In order to have an even fairer comparison:
a (Cleaner-Wax)/AIO should've been used
on the trunk prior to the application of
the Carnauba Wax.

IMO: Yes.

IMO Yes. That is the way I do it. If the car is polished well and does not need polishing; then I go to a pre-wax cleaner. That works too.

Dawn and Citrus wash will not remove existing LSPs also I doubt Eraser would remove an LSP as it is designed to remove polishing oils.

CJ, what's your pre-wax cleaner of choice?

Would D114 at 6:1 do it?

I have 2: Polish Angel Escalate lotion and Black Label Pre-wax cleaner. So far those 2 have been very good for me.

Ahh yes yes thank you for refreshing my memory on such topic and you are fully correct with no hesitation, and or the suggested methods would most likely be applied if one isn't looking to fully remove LSP but rather layer it in a sense
