My friend and I are going to start working on his Civic. Paint in decent condition but needs clay and a polish but he doesn't want to polish.
I'll be using WG twins so pre-polish should cover up some swirls.
He already has NXT (3 coats.) I want to start clean.
Question is this: will a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol/water remove the NXT? Should this be done before or after claying? Or does it not matter?
Thx for any advice.

Doesn't really matter when you do it. And the WG polish will remove whatever the IPA misses. | |

My mind tells me it's wrong to spray alcohol all over a car but if it works, it works.
Thanks again!

Thanks | |

Failing that, all the stuff below will. Mother's pre-wax cleaner, any Meguiar's paint cleaner, AIO, P21S GEPC, PPCL, etc.
