0 redneck08sierra Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 3-4 oz all purpose cleaner mixed in with car shampoo/clay bar/IPA wipe down...depends on how long the current wax has been on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camaro2ssblack Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 IPA would be the best way to strip a single panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Isopropyl Alcohol 1:1 if you're stripping 1 panel. APC diluted into car wash mixture if stripping the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 myb5blue Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Isopropyl Alcohol 1:1 if you're stripping 1 panel. APC diluted into car wash mixture if stripping the whole car. Dylan, How much APC? I will be using about 2 ounces of shampoo in about 3.5 gal. of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dylan, How much APC? I will be using about 2 ounces of shampoo in about 3.5 gal. of water. 3-4 oz. of APC added to that car wash mixture should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FarbeyondDriven Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 how will 4 oz of all purpose cleaner in 4 gallons of water strip the wax. That just seems like it wont work. your watering it down 128:1 I've watered APC down 5:1 and saw a HUGE difference in performance. 10:1 was like using water. It did almost nothing. Im just confused at how putting such a little amount of APC will strip wax. (which is engineered to last) Is it possible to do an APC wipe down, like you would do with IPA?

How does a posi track in a Plymouth work? It just does. On a car that still has a good coat of wax on it you'll notice some beading when you initially wet the car. After an APC strip wash you'll notice no more beads,therefore no more wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
