Mixing Meg’s APC with car wash to strip paint

[acuRAS82]

Update: I clayed last night. It went smoothly, no real rough spots but the paint feels a bit smoother *I think*.

I’ll do some pad/polish testing today or tomorrow, then the 2 Step with Wolfgang twins (most likely) Monday. I’ll probably spray APC on a test spot and polish that and another spot when I do test. That will determine if I go ahead and APC spray and wipe the whole car before polishing.

If I do go the APC route (since I don’t have degreaser or strip soap on hand), I’ll then wipe with Wolfgang paint prep spray before starting the full 2 Step.

Save time and just paint prep spray it and then go right to polishing now that you’re done claying. You are way overthinking this.

I wouldn’t wipedown my paint with APC. You’re way overthinking it...

If you are polishing the paint that will take care of the old wax/sealant. I believe people read too much here and get way too technical with approaches like this. Keep it simple...
