Re: CG's Citrus Wash...does it strip LSP's?
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss contains Dodecylbenzen which is a surfactant found commonly in laundry detergents, I believe this combined with the gloss enhancers are clogging your LSP. The ph rating of cg cw&g is 8, meguiars hyper wash has a ph rating of 9-9.8 and it doesn't have any adverse effects on LSPs. So I believe it is safe to say the cause is not related to the cg cw&g being too aggressive of a cleaner and is more related to the surfactant not being able to rinse off completely.

Re: CG's Citrus Wash...does it strip LSP's?
I would love to see that video.
Did he find any chemical that managed to strip the sealant? Like solvent based or something?
I would imagine that solvent based products can strip most sealant. I have run across one car I could not strip no matter what I did, so I don't know what the dealer put on it but even with grease and wax remover, the wax (or what ever it was) would come loose when I sprayed the the solvent on it, and it would go solid again as I tried to wipe if off. I tried compounding it, polishing it, using clay, it would damage it and remove a bit of it but would not take it off. Craziest thing I have ever seen.

Re: CG's Citrus Wash...does it strip LSP's?
Thank you for the comments guys, seems there's a film on there afterwards, so hopefully I washed that layer off last night when I did a RW using the brand new Griot's Garage Brillant Shine RW. I'm also going to do a simple pre-wash foaming tonight using the also new Mother's Triple wash, just foaming it, dwell time and rinse as the car will be just dusty from todays drive to and from work. Once I spray the stuff off we'll see how it looks but then again I did apply 2x's Meguairs Cersmic Hybrid "wax".

I presume we're going to be seeing a review shortly?

The guy who tested with a mirror only got the sealant off with nasty acid-based wheel cleaner.

I think that's the age old question. What can you use to strip sealants, waxes other then polishing them off the surface ? This senior Geek is always looking for something that is easy to use so my aches and pains don`t come back

In all honesty, ABC is the answer for me. Been using it for the better half of ten years with the results I want.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

LSP = Last Step Product
I can't be the only one wondering.
