Re: Removing wax before claying

No need to strip wax before claying. When you apply wax, 98% of it comes right back off the car on the towel. The coating is very, very thin. Plus, clay only removes particles standing up on the surface. The clay floats over the paint surface on the lubricant. It sheers off anything that's above the paint surface.
