Preparing for LSP?

[Paul A.]

I rarely desire to change up LSP's in early to mid term of it's durability. With that said, i use either my car or the wife's to try a new LSP and both vehicles most times don't require much if any abrasives. For those times i use DG501 to "clean" the paint.

Theirs been a couple threads in such test..one was here on Autogeek

Gist of it was that most things that are deemed to remove it simply left a surfactant to mask LSP properties..

Just do a Polish and know it's gone.

The 1st thing that comes to mind is Pipuk's thread... I revisited that thread just a few days ago... I made it through about 3/4 of it before I checked out [it's a very long thread] But I didn't see any tests involving paint cleansers, specifically McKee's Coating Prep Polish. If I missed it, then my mistake... But I'd really like to find out if something like that product fills the need or not.

I don't know about the chemical paint cleaners. Mike talks a little about it in this thread, and working backwards.

If your paint were soft, you may be better off polishing than using a chemical cleaner, or even just topping it depending what your goal is.

Just giving a garage queen some love, getting a daily driver ready for winter, or somewhere in between?

Use a product like CarPro Eraser. Why I prefer Eraser over IPA is eraser has more lubrication.

If paint is in good nick I just wash and apply the new wax. Don't overthink things.

My vehicles are coated, so if I want to prep them I use D114 @ 128:1 and call it clean enough, but for the most part I just spray whatever I fancy after I wash it.

How about a citrus wash followed by a paint cleanser. I use panel wipe myself by GTeqnique.
