wax removing

What do you guys recommend to remove wax from a car.
I would like to remove all the layers of waxes and residue, wash it nicely
and wax it properly.
The car is a 2002 so I'm not looking for a compound, just some product to
wash the wax off.

 

Kerosene

sandpaper usually does the job.



U.S.A. "Go West Young Men..."

Mexico "El Norte Hombre..."

 

Yeah, I'd sand paper you, then pour Kerosene and crack a match!!!

 

Many people use Dawn dishwashing detergent. I did this in 1978 and wax
wouldn't stay on that car after that. Literally had to wax it every 30
days.

 

What's wrong with claybarring it ????

 

In Europe, if you use Kerosene and then wash in down the drain, you
will be in big trouble if caught/reported.

It is not good for the drain system. Think of others and not just
your car.

 

Anything that takes off things embedded in the paint, is going to remove wax
on the surface.

 

They have sewerage systems in Europe, wow?

Ivory (liquid) soap will do the job. This is what I did to my 99 civic when
I got it (this year):

1) Wash well with ivory soap
2) Go over with clay bar (you may not need to do this if there isn't a lot
of debry in the paint)
3) Wash again (to remove clay bar lubricant)
4) Dry well and polish it (not wax)... the polish makes it nice and shiny
5) Then wax it... the wax protects what you just polished.

I know, more info than needed... just try the ivory.
