I asked Michael Stoops about Meguiar's D114 for this purpose and he said:
"6:1 for full IPA replacement with D114"
Can begin to get a bit pricey for this purpose ...

Bunky,
The RV and Marine Wash is perfect for stripping waxes and sealants and leaves a perfect finish for any new LSP.

Dr. G! As a strip wash, would you use that at the label dilution of 0.5 oz/4 gallons water, or a different dilution? I`ll be waiting for your answer in 2033
Thank you
Setec Astronomy:
The "waiting for an answer in 2033" for a response/post from Optimum Polymer Technologies owner and product development chemist Dr.G to the dilution ration threw me for minute as being a mistyped year. Then the arithmetic light came on..Dr.G`s last post was in early August of 2014 for an announcement of a back-then "soon-to-be-released"stripping/prep wash soap for use with its Opti-Coat. Alfisti asked in a follow-up post if their was any news on its release in late March 2015, and then posted "Thank You" for news of the suggested RV and Marine Wash in early January 2024, some 9 years later. If we add that same time difference of 9 years to the present 2024, we arrive at the year 2033! NOW I understand... (then they wonder WHY I am called "Captain Obvious"!! Quit laughing so hard......)

What a thread bump 
Curious how this jives with the advice that only way to truly strip a sealant is to polish.

Well, it is interesting about Optimum Polymer Technologies Dr. G suggestion to using their RV and Marine Wash (Soap) as a prep wash to strip away old sealants and waxes.
LOOOONG before this when Autopian Dave Fermani was working for a company in Florida, he received a 2010 Ford Fusion as a company car and he used a mixture of OPT`s Car Wash Soap and Power Clean APC to strip off any wax or contaminants BEFORE he was to apply the then new OPT coating Opti-Coat to test its durability.
Good info and documentation in this thread from January 2010, if you can get by the PhotoBucket copyright insignia (yes, that fiasco still haunts this forum!)prominently displayed across all his photos.
