    Yup black car. Just have applied a lot of different things on top. Would like to see difference stripped for a week and then one topper.

    My coating still looks great just remember performance being better but maybe topping monthly to much?

    Let’s see:
    You want to remove/strip Coating-toppers.

    Suppose the toppers you used are formulated
    “to bond” to the Coating... then what?

    Would a strip wash work?

    Strip wash? Is there such a thing that has been proven to work? This has been debated for years...

    Re: Removing toppers from ceramic coating with out hurting the coating

    Perhaps strip washes have not been proven to remove all wax/sealants, but they may be good at removing all things from a coating. I believe Reset is essentially a high performance strip wash, with admissions that it may take multiple washes to get all the junk out.

    What do you think can actually ‘break
    the bond’, if in fact there is one?

    I don’t know if they actually bond. I kinda assume their just sitting on top of each other. If a coating is that much harder on pencil scale hoping something can degrade weaker topper is my thinking

    Don’t over think it. Try the decon options that were mentioned. If it’s not completely removed they will be in time. You should notice the beading change as soon as it’s all gone.
