Prepping surface after sealing

[BlackSunshine]

Hey people,
I posted before about prepping the surface of your car after sealing. I bought a new car (Black, 2005 Cavalier)and sealed it with sealant 3 times with Crystal-Glo acrylic paint sealant(Crystal-Glo.com) without claying or polishing. Yes, I know thats a big NO, NO around here. I know that now. Anyways, I was just wondering how to get rid of the sealant to properly clay and polish before re-sealing. I already had 1 reply to just go about it as normal. That is, clay, pre-wax cleaner, polish/glaze then re-seal and top with favorite wax(S100). Is this the concensus here? No offence to the person who replied, just wondering if this is the best way to go about it. Thanks in advance.

I would just start over again wash, clay, polish, etc. The clay will remove all the sealant that is on there so go for it!

By the time you clay and polish, the sealant will be gone. Then you can go about your business.

Another thought is this:
If the finish is smooth, no swirls and it looks like you want it to, just leave it alone for now.
I took delivery of a new vehicle a year ago and it was in great shape. All I did for the first time or two was apply two or three coats of a sealant.

the clay will not remove ALL OF THE SEALANT, Just the majority of it (in most cases). so please make sure to use a paint cleaner and/or polish to remove the rest of the sealant/wax, so u could start fresh with a brand new finsh. rember one thing. the effort u put into prepping the surface will determine the outcome OF THE SHINE, DURABILTY AND EASE OF USE.


BUT U KNOW ALL OF THIS ALREADY! :doh
