Well I have 2 coats of Dodo Juice Supernatural on my repainted Lexus and the wax seriously will NOT come off! I`ve soaked the car in CG CW&G and P21s TAW and Nothing! Granted i wasnt using a Foam Cannon but i still suds the whole car for about 5 minutes! I was using the correct dilution of CW&G also. Any help?

Why you want to strip it out completely? I think what you did was good enough..

Its gotten pretty swirled up in the past 8 or so months and so im wanting to do a light polish to remove them and at first i just tried 106FA on white via PC and didnt do anything. So i figured i might as well strip it completely and put on a fresh coat

Do a IPA or Prep Sol wipe down. Why not use a more aggressive polish to remove the swirls before waxing again?

In that case you are completely fine. FIY, I didn`t even stripped my sealant when doing the polishing with Menzerna Power Finish. (great polish btw)

How do you know its not stripped? Don`t use beading or lack thereof as an indicator.
An IPA wipedown should take care of it. Or use a finishing polish.

BTW the 106FA may not have removed the swrils, but it likely removed all the wax.

Seriously, the white pad is just a polishing pad. You would need a cutting pad at least. I would go with the P0203S on 4" Green from LC. If you have a dark color, get P085RD on white pad following the P0203S.

IPA is Isopropyl Alcohol correct? Where would I find it?

I use simple green to take old wax off, make sure to do it in the shade

Correct. You can find it at Target, Walgreens or your local drugstore.

Thanks everyone! So I`m thinking a high dilution of CG CW&G probably twice and then an IPA wipedown. Does that sound sufficient? Also, will I have to dilute the IPA?
