Removal of old sealant / wax

Just use clay. It will remove all of it.

I can't scientifically subscribe to that. By visual observation clay may remove everything, but I think we need to get some microscopic evidence and data. Based on my experience there could be a lot of variables when claying such as the type of clay media used, how many strokes per panel, the level of bonded contaminants, ETC. Every time you change a variable you will get a different result. Some one should create a thread like this. I'd find it quite interesting.

Whether working by hand or machine, next time, instead of buying a "paint cleaner", go all in and get an actual "polish". A paint cleaner only cleans the surface. A true polish will do EVERYTHING a paint cleaner will do PLUS remove some defects, like swirls, oxidation, water spots, etc.

Hey, that's what the Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish is for. I've subscribed to this line of thought, and I really think it's the right way to go, as you can offer your customers a little more than just cleaning the paint.
