What do you use to completely strip your paint prior to LSP application?

Hey Mark,

Because of your post, I bought the original version of Griot's Paint Prep on BOGO. I think it does a dandy job at removing everything and I have plenty left.

Awesome, Bobby. There's other products(APC's) that can do the job, but I like how paint prep is specifically designed for stripping and it works!

I wonder whats the best way to incorporate Griots Paint Prep if you could only do rinseless washes......perhaps put some in the bucket with ONR maybe, I've done that with some APC's. Maybe it would work the same.....either way love Griots Paint Prep

For me I wouldn't. Did mixing the APC with ONR affect it's lubricity(?) or how easily it dries at all?

It's wasn't much APC, and I did presoak with ONR as well. I didnt notice any loss in lubricity compared to times i've done it without APC in it. It was no different than other ONR session I've done just with APC added sometimes to strip a section or at least degrade the previous lsp some!

How much of the Paint Prep are you guys using for say a mid-sized sedan?

Last summer I used a little less than ten ounces of Griot's Paint Prep on my four-door Altima.
Just sprayed it on and rubbed it in using rubber gloves. Let it dwell for awhile then rinsed it off, (while in the shade).

Good to know. I've always hoped someone would come out with an actual rinseless stripping wash.

Did you use Griot's Finest Sprayer?

I think so. Is that the red and white sprayer that Griots makes you buy separately?

Yep, dats the one.

I use Eraser... At least for all coatings.


For waxes and sealants I usually use a CG CW&C wash.
