Sealant for the Thunderbird

[694doorbird]

Love the way my ranger came out with the sealant/Americana combo, so know I want to do the Thunderbird.

since it always has a nice of wax, it will need to be stripped. I know I can wipe it down with the alcohol rub, but I've read I can also add all purpose cleaner to the soap bucket. If I do this, how much APC do I add to the soap? How will the APC affect the vinyl top, it's original to the car.

 

Thanks

Mike, I usually add a couple ( around 4) ounces APC to my wash bucket when I am going to do a 'strip' wash.  I will say that the vinyl top should be fine, you are not 'soaking' it with APC so it will be OK.  Also, I will assume, that you are going to treat the top with SuperVRT or something after you are done.  You will be good!

 

Keep us posted!

Thanks for the peace of mind Scott. Yes, the top is/will be coated with Super VRT.
