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

Griot's just released a "new and improved" version of their Paint Prep. It worked GREAT!!

They claim it's stronger/more effective, but this prior version worked great, too!

Mark I actually tried out a bottle of the old formula after reading a thread where you spoke highly of it.

Stuff does a great job of stripping all previously applied LSP.

The only thing I didn't like was I used almost the entire bottle on a mid sized SUV. Does this sound about right or was I using too much product?

I use CG Citrus Wash and Clear.

Did you use Griot's Finest Sprayer?

Mark, do you prefer using a stripping shampoo or an actual product designed for the sole purpose like Griot's or I think it's called Eraser?

I use Chem Guys Citrus Wash N Gloss at a high dilution (1 oz to 1 gallon). To me, it is very cheap and effective. At the same time, dawn would work too, but I guess I would rather use a car shampoo than a hand soap if I can avoid it.

I prefer to use a product that's specifically made to strip. Lots of people will use APC's and other stuff that's more cost effective. I've used CG citrus wash red to strip, but I think it's way overrated. It's great to tackle dirty cars, but not for striping, IMO. I use eraser mainly for inspecting, but not for stripping. Paint prep is perfect because you spray it on, agitate, and rinse!

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.
