I am planning to re-detail my car and I was wondering if I need to remove the layers of carnuba and Klasse twins before I begin to clay and re-polish? If so should i use a polishing MF or just any one would do?

Clay and polishing will leave your finish LSP free. What combination do you plan on using?

I will be using PP,MP, then FP followed by the Klasse Twins. Lastly will be P21s.

You can wait to redetail the car...take a day and go fishing!
Any polish or cleaner will remove the LSPs that are on the car.

If it's been on there for 6 months, there probably isn't much left of it anyway.
Will it gunk up your pads? No. You have to realize how extremely thin those layers are. I highly doubt there could be enough accumulated LSP to actually be noticeable on your pad. If anything, your pad may get gunked up from the polish or cleaner you apply. If that's the case, then just take an old toothbrush and clean the pad if it gets gunked up. Let the machine spin on speed 3 or so, and hold the toothbrush against the pad. Any dried product should come right off.

See what happens and be prepared to strip the products off if you need to. The only time I've had problems with existing LSPs gunking up my pads *was* with the Klasse twins, and I thought they were long gone by the time I got to polishing. It not only messed up the pads but it caused a hard to remove residue on the paint. AIO cleaned it off, but *man* what a pain.
You can use rubbing alcohol and a soft MF to clean off the current LSP. Just see if you really need to do it before you bother.
