What would be the quickest/easiest way to strip sealant please?
Clay bar?
APC/Dawn wash?
Paint Cleaner i.e. Victoria Lite Cleanse
All-In-One i.e. Carlack/Klasse?

Rubbing alcohol.

Susprisingly difficult to get locally in large bottles here in the UK (assuming you mean Isopropyl alcohol?)

Thanks, I shall likely be washing, claying, and machine polishing it anyway, but would like to have as little crap on the paint as possible so I`m not gumming/clogging up anything when I polish.

Do you dilute the alcohol and spray it on/wipe it off? I`m assuming this will also strip any wax.

Wash, clay, polish. The polish will remove any left over sealant. If you want, you could do an Isopropyl alcohol wipe down after the clay. Mix it 50/ 50 with water.
I always do an alcohol wipe down prior to applying a sealant.

The OP already said rubbing alcohol isn`t easy to get locally in large quantities in the UK.

Ended up doing an APC soak, a wash, clayed, machine polished (quickly no real defects) which made the paint literally squeaky clean for the Fire Glaze.
Thanks all.

Try `Everclear` it`s almost pure alcohol... and available at most liquor stores!

And thats why I said its not necessary. Also, someone asked how it should be mixed, so I was answering his question too.
