    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 :ca

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

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

    Removing an LSP is different. Applying Meg`s Paint Cleaner is polishing paint, whereas the OP is looking to just remove the LSP and apply something else. In that case, any of the above products in my post will apply.

    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.

    NAPA should have a few different solvents, just different names.



    I bought Tumbler wax and silicone remover from NAPA.

    Thanks,Silcone remover should do the trick as long as is not way too strong .

    We should ask Chris (eshine) to start carrying prep sol.
