Wax Remover

I'm looking to remove some wax on my car for a fresh coat of zaino. It currently has zaino topped with p21s. Can anyone recommend me some products to remove zaino? More importantly, where I can find these products locally? I'm located in Vancouver. Right now, the easiest method seems to be some rubbing alcohol with water spray on and wipe off, but i'm open to other alternatives.

Thanks in advance

Looks like IPA will be the easiest way to go. Is there a difference between IPA and ISA?

don't think so Isopropyl Alcohol 99% if you can.

are these the same materials thaty i can use to take off a sealant like opti-seal?

To remove any sealant I use Meg's paint cleaner with a PC and a polishing pad.

I stand corrected.

Holden co4 where do you buy Prep sol in Toronto? I tried NAPA near my house and they didn't have any,I am thinking of asking a body shop near by (I think it's Maaco) ,may be they can sell me some.
Prep sol it also great for removing products like Black wow off the paint.

You can find Duplicolor Grease and Wax Remover at any Canadian Tire. It's a little...sticky. It needs much more time to evaporate than IPA.
