Using APC for stripping off wax instead of IPA wipedown...

Coating Prep products are fairly cheap and simple to use. I had a car with WG sealant on it, I used Gyeon Prep, and the coating I chose worked great. It will remove wax and sealants in a 15-20 minute application. If it works for a coating, it'll work for the next sealant you choose.

Haven't thought of cleaner wax. But then again, I might as well get the IPA then lol

Totally agree with Guz. Unless you are the world's most clumsy and inattentive person, machine polishing is a breeze.

After 1-2 passes with a polisher, you'll be saying-- "WHAT was I so afraid of ?!?!"

Machine polishing is by far my favorite step in the process.

Grab a Griot's Garage GG6 polisher, 5" backing plate and some orange Lake Country ThinPro pads. Then grab some HD Speed "cleaner wax" and go have some fun. Thank me later.
