I want to start over on my car after several coats of Zaino, what is the best method for getting the car back to the basic clearcoat and starting over?



Iso/ Alcohol?

Dawn wash??



What is the best product for this and how do you use?
 
Dawn doesn't do much to Zaino. IPA or Prepsol will take off anything, though.



If you're planning on polishing your paint, that too will take off Zaino.
 
For Prepsol, check out auto paint/body supply places, they'll have it or something similar (Pre-Kleano comes to mind).
 
Two suggestions that will provide a "clean slate":



A 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water.



einszett Acrysol removes acrylic-based waxes, silicone, carnauba wax, grease, oil, polishes, adhesive residues, road grime, underseal and tar without residue.
 
I found some at Pepboys on 153. I don't think it was exactly prep-sol.....but it does the same thing. I've used it with good results.

Not if you're claying right (i.e., gently). I spot clay with every wash, and it doesn't seem to remove an appreciable amount of my LSP. Some products like KSG get clayed dozens of times without needing redone, but again, I'm *VERY* gentle about it.



A friend who use Zaino tells me that even fairly "rough" claying only seems to remove about 1/2 of a layer of Zaino.
