APC as a stripper

[PiPUK]

Dawn or other dish washing detergents have been mentioned to remove LSPs.

If you search a bit you will see that my view is that this is one of the worst myths in detailing. A bit like a mechanic telling you that painted stripes makes your vehicle go faster.

Well, conventional wisdom is yes, you stripped your LSP. As Audios stated, some members have postulated that it is very difficult to strip sealants, and that the hydrophobic surface of the sealant may become contaminated by surfactants in the cleaning agent, rendering it temporarily hydrophilic.

But more to your question, certainly APC's can be used to strip waxes (although many "waxes" are not, or are hybrid products), the most important thing to consider if you are trying to do this is to not let the product dry on the paint. I think OPC might be considered the "safest" APC on paint.

Before I bought OPC I read about its various uses, and according to the Optimum Forum, it can be used to strip an LSP:

According to Optimum, you can use OPC on paint. Sonus All in 1 is a much better value, as it strips carnauba wax at 30:1.
