Big squirt is all. Or two.

Rinse the car very well after washing.

I would use around 4 oz and 2-3 oz of regular car soap for lubrication.

Agreed....3-4 oz

Why not just use CG CW&G @ 1oz per gallon and then you don't have to use 2 different products???

Tried the Dawn and the car felt so awful afterward - never thought to add regular car shampoo to lubricate - great idea.

Dawn is for for washing dishes....most automotive polishes will remove old wax/sealant. Wash(car shampoo)clay, polish, protect.

I tried using Dawn to remove my LSP and it did not work. I used a fair amount too. Need to maybe add some APC as well?

good luck

I have a bottle of CG Citrus Wash Red, what mix ratio should I use to strip the sealant off?

Thanks

I believe they recommend an ounce per gallon, but it's tricky. You may have to do repeated application for some LSPs. I found what works great is Griot's Paint Prep or the Sonax APC that was BOGO a month ago at 1:30 dilution. Both of those seem to work well. If I was correcting, I wouldn't bother to strip off the LSP prior, IMHO it's a waste of time. Polishing will do that, at anything your using to remove polish oils and inspect your results will remove any left overs. I used Dawn before I knew any better and it seemed to work poorly for me.
