Is It Possible to Chemically Strip Sealants?

Is/Was: Wet Glaze 2.0 capable of chemically stripping sealants?

Bob

That would presume some indisputable evidence and agreement on what can strip sealants, and whether 1) those ingredients are present in WG2.0 in the right proportion, and 2) other ingredients in WG2.0 don't affect the result.

In any case, Amigo is unique in that it (according to Prima) can serve as a paint cleaner and a glaze and a polish, to varying degrees (affected by the pad choice and application method). Duly noted that you have expressed doubts about these sorts of claims from any product which brands itself in that paint cleaner category.

In consideration of the above, the Wet Glaze was somewhat redundant atop Amigo and complicates any assessment of the result. It would either need to completely remove all traces of Amigo, or need to happily coexist with it. I doubt anyone has indisputable data on that, either way.

Prima Amigo (again according to Prima) will strip Prima's sealants such as Epic, and also provide a base that improves the bond of a Prima sealant applied at the next step. It's unknown whether any or all that applies to Prima Amigo followed by products from other manufacturers.

I've been very pleased with the results and longevity of Prima Amigo followed by Epic, and periodically refreshed with Prima Hydro. Beats me, if Prima's claims of what the products do and how they do it are 100% accurate, but I sure like the result and that's the important thing.
Sorry I left the Prima product-line out of the equation.

I didn't realize it was going to have be any specific sealant that needed to be addressed during this particular:
"Is it possible to chemically strip sealants" discussion.

Duly noted that you say you like the results you achieve using Prima products.

No. You can apply it over or under anything. It just makes it more glossy. It has no cleaners. It just works well. Awesome results.
 
Duplicolor wax and grease remover should take it off, I've also used brake clean spairingly.

Brake Kleen on your paint? Don't do it man!

I'm a big fan of Brake Kleen. I use it all the time to clean greasy parts and lingering oil from an oil change. I've even used it to wash my hands (bad I know)

On paint - Never!
 
Bad news about Wet Glaze 2.0 - it isn't a glaze at all. WG 2.0 is closer to a polymer sealant than it is a glaze. The MSDS lays this out, clear as day. More than that, it contains a notable amount of isoparaffinic solvent in a water base. The solvent itself is a strong cleaner and, more than that, this is a water based product so that solvent is incorporated as an emulsion which requires emulsifiers. Emulsifiers are surfactants and surfactants are... cleaners. So, according to the MSDS, WG2.0 is an emulsified polymer sealant which has a notable potential for cleaning.

Thanks Mr. PiPUK!

This information just may be, (in part), the answer, then, to my below query:

I think the answer would definitely be maybe! It will depend on the quality of the sealant really but with potentially 20% of something not far removed from mineral spirits, it certainly won't do much good!

I'll leave the posting on that thread to others as I have not taken any part.
