stripping lsp with not access to hose?
With the winter now fast approaching, at least here in vermont I'm getting ready to prepare the car. I would like to strip my current lsp, but i live in an apartment and have no access to a hose. I was thinking I would do a dawn wash at coin op place, but I'm not sure if there are better alternatives. I havent been detailing long so I havent really had to do it before. I recently got some Supernatural Hybrid but im sure it won't bond well without stripping whats on there first.

Griot's paint prep will help

Re: stripping lsp with not access to hose?
If you're putting an AIO over what you have, then it will take off the old wax. If you're doing a two step polish and wax, the polish will take off the old wax. If you still want to remove the old wax, say to put on a sealant, you can use the Griot's as mentioned above, DuPont Prep Sol, Kleen Strip Prep All or if you only plan on doing this once or twice a year, using Dawn won't hurt. Over time dish detergent will dry out paint. Once or twice a year shouldn't be an issue.

You could try P21s paintwork cleanser.

Re: stripping lsp with not access to hose?
I could start by checking the spelling in the post title. It seems for ease of use, and time, that the griots paint prep is probably the best. I was hoping to not have to buy anything more, but i dont know if dawn would completely strip everyting

Re: stripping lsp with not access to hose?
Griots paint prep is one of the easiest and most convenient in your situation. It works.!! A little tip: with car clean, apply a liberal covering spray over a panel, and use your hand, [with no rings of course] to spread it around, rub it in and give it time to work. That spreads it evenly, and you do not absorb it so soon in a rag, thus not wasting product.
Then do another panel etc...give it some time [2-6 min they ask] so that will depend on what is ON the car already, and how fast its drying if used outside. Don't rub PPrep into a dirty surface of course. I might get flamed on this---but hey if you have no hose/water situation, and you do not have a waterless wash, then if you are careful using a hand wand coin-op, take the time to carefully hand wash, and rinse carefully--that should get you started. Hope that helps some...

How is Griot's Paint Prep going to work when he has no access to a hose to rinse it off?
I would think maybe the Griot's Pre-wax cleaner or IPA wipedown would be the easiest products to use.

He said he can go to a coin operated car wash.

I live in an apartment and still manage to wash my car properly.
I hook a 100ft hose up to the bathroom sink and throw it out the window and out to the parking lot.
