Remove Powerlock?

I like Mother's Step 1 for this task. Very limited polishing, probably the pad doing most of the work. It also leaves the paint super squeaky clean. Like all Mother's products it is very user friendly. And it's cheap!

You just don't really ever know what you're removing and what is left behind. If you're trying to avoid using a polisher, you can do your prep wash, clay bar (if needed) and then wipe the car down with something like Kleen-Strip Prep-All. It is pretty cheap for a gallon at somewhere like CARQUEST. If its good enough to prep panel prior to painting it should be more than good enough to provide a clean surface for the Powerlock. It should do some serious damage to the 4 month old Powerlock and may remove it entirely. The paint should be squeaky clean after that.


Yes, I will try to just use a chemical to remove the wax, if PL goes with it that's fine as I'll apply a new coat anyway. Maybe next year I can plan to polish but right now all that stuff is packed away in the basement. Appreciate the help!
