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.

Since IPA/water will remove most anything, I`m sure it will remove NXT.
Doesn`t really matter when you do it. And the WG polish will remove whatever the IPA misses.

Yes, the 50/50 should remove just about anything on the surface. But if in doubt, the WG Polish should remove anything that is left after that.

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

Not to start a Dawn or a NXT flame..... but I venture to guess a dawn wash would probably strip NXT, as it is not all that durable IMHO.

Does the NXT even have to be removed, or can you start with the WG sealer ?
Thanks

I want to remove the NXT so that I can lay down WG polish in order to give WG sealant something to bond to. I`m not confident that the WG sealant will bond to NXT.

Any paint cleaner will remove everything to the clear. If the WG polish is a paint cleaner, it`ll remove the NXT. Failing that, all the stuff below will. Mother`s pre-wax cleaner, any Meguiar`s paint cleaner, AIO, P21S GEPC, PPCL, etc.
