Asked this a while back but there's a lot of new products and techniques since I did.



For those of us who you rinseless or even waterless wash products and techniques, what is the best way to strip old LSP's off?



TIA,

Tony
 
captzippy- I suppose the conventional wisdom/standard answer is IPA, but I'd use TOL's PrepWash. The IPA doesn't require rinsing and it's not completely mandatory with the PrepWash either, though some of us do prefer to do it. You could just wash with your waterless to "rinse".

IPA, mineral sprits, citrus wash, Dawn wash or a paint cleaner.
 
Read this as a plan on the OPT forum:

Prespray the panel with OPC (or I guess any APC or in my case my P21 TAW)

Wash down with ONR but rinsing in a second water only bucket (ala traditional 2 bucket method)

and Voila
 
Umm, no.



ONR will establish its own protection film on the surface. So it's not LSP stripping technically. Besides, lots of LSP can withstand the attack of an APC. Sure, it will weaken them, but that's NOT stripping.



I usually do a full strength APC wash/IPA/prepsol wipedown routine.
 
So you don't think that the PC will strip the sealant/wax alone Bence? Hadn't thought about the ONR having a bit of a surface of it's own but since I use it as a clay lube I wouldn't think it would be much.



Thinking particularly right now of alternatives to the IPA wipedown before applying Opticoat (though not sure why). Have seen a few people use OPC for this too.



Last year I did a full wash with P21S TAW but I've discovered it's such a drag to get out the hose and two buckets anymore (pun partly intended).
