Griots paint prep

It's very simple to test this for yourself. Spray some water on your car and note the beading. Clean the paint with the Griots Paint Prep then spray some water on the car--the beading is gone so you assume the LSP is gone. Now give the paint an IPA wipe down--spray water on the car again --- magically the beading re-appears. The Paint Prep leaves surfactants behind that make the water spread on the paint and the IPA wipe down removes them so the LSP is exposed again thus the water beads again.

clean clearcoat can bead water too

No...it's not necessary.

•Let's start at the beginning:
-The Wax or Sealant film layer is only a couple of
molecules thick when it's first applied/brand new.

•So, (getting ready to detail the vehicle):
-After washing the vehicle;
-opting for an IronX/IronX-type decon, or not;
-performing the "Baggie Test" to determine
if claying is needed, or not;

-then polishing, even with mild polishes, will
remove whatever remnants of the previous
Waxes' or Sealants' film layers that remain.

•In fact, IMO:
-polishing is the only way to ensure these
previous LSPs will be totally removed.

-Save the "paint prep" products for
after the paint correction process(es)...and
synched with their designated Paint 'Coatings'.


Bob

so is that an extra polishing step to remove the lsp, that would be quite tedious. what if you only need an ultrafine polish?
