Re: Stripping LSP? How?
Well, since you don't want to order something, my options for OTC suggestions are limited. You can try a cleaner wax. If you order from here. Get DP Prep Polish. Best paint cleaner!
Back to the full-time grind.

Re: Stripping LSP? How?
I use Dawn and have had no issues. I wash the car then I claybar (I use Nanoskin Blue Sponge) it. That should sufficiently remove the LSP. If you use Dawn and then clay, it will be stripped.
Since I claybar the car, I no longer use Dawn but a car soap. The Sponge is so fast and easy to use I now use that to strip the car after a wash.
That is how I do it, some may see it differently than I do, but this method has been successful to me

Re: Stripping LSP? How?
What are you polishing with? It should remove whatever is on the vehicle.

You're gonna polish. The polish will remove any LSP on the paint.
So just wash, clay, then polish.
KISS. Keep it simple Simon.

Re: Stripping LSP? How?
Depending on how long ago the sealant or wax was applied it's probably pretty much gone now.
Polishing a finish with remove any and all last step protections including coatings such as Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0....

Clay
Polish

Hasnt been long since the car beads like crazy and not a single drop of water will stick to it. I will wash it and add a tiny bit of dawn and then clay it since it does really need to be clayed. Im sure by them the clear should be bare and ready to get polished!

BobbyG is correct. I am assuming you will be doing the same as his 4 steps. IMHO, I think claying the entire car is necessary before polishing. It insures the car is ready for polishing (no contaminants).
Claying to me is a pre-polish step. After the polish I clean (IPA) for the Sealant and (for me) a high quality carnauba wax....all by DA
Fun stuff!!

Re: Stripping LSP? How?
I just stripped my car of sealant and tested a few different methods since I was bored. My only method that can be done OTC would be to use Stoner's Tarminator. Some bug & tar remover's state the product can be used as paint prep; I did not check to see if Tarminator did, but it worked well.
Just work one panel at a time (break it up if outside to avoid drying)
1. Spray panel with Tarminator, wait ~60 sec
2. Wash panel.
Disclaimer(ish): You'll go through a lot of Tarminator if you do the whole car that way. Also, it's probably not good for your health to breathe this much product.

Hey good idea! I had not thought about that. I may give that a shot but after claying the car im going to wipe it down with a wax and grease remover i use for when i paint cars. Im sure that is going to leave the clear pretty bare ready for polishing!
