LSP Ready Paint Cleaner

PRicci09 said:
Bob, the problem is that I am a bit of an "lsp addict" I am consistently stripping the protection off my car just to try a new product. So, I am really looking for something that I can use between my LSP experiments to strip the old protection and clean up the paint.

Im not looking to do any serious correction, just to clean up very mild scratches from routine washing and what not.

There are some recent threads regarding "LSP-stripping".

Not sure of the LSP's you have already used, or the ones you're intending to use...

But if they're any good at all (most are formulated to be so)...it will take something like a:

-Claying-session (per: "the baggie-test"); along with:
-A polishing-session to remove those "very mild scratches"---and most remnants of an LSP...
-Followed by a hydrocarbon solvent to hopefully ensure the LSP's total removal.

For your scenario:
That's my definition of: "cleaning the paint"... so it's ready for a different LSP application.

Is there any kaolin clay or kaolin dust in the dp prep polish, because that would be an abrassive in my book, I don't know why it never gets listed as an abrassive.

Bob,

While I respect your opinion, I have used some very strong lsp's and have not encountered one that can withstand 2 undiluted OPC spray downs followed by a stripping soap bath. From what I've read most chemical paint cleaners should easily be able to strip an old lsp.

With that being said, although your technique works, its also time consuming. I simply don't have the time to clay and polish my car between each LSP I try (hence, why I am looking for a product that does it all)

How "old" is the LSP...and what type: Wax/Sealant/(surely not a Coating)?

How do you know when LSP's---especially strong ones...have been totally removed?
(BTW:AGO forum member swanicyouth has a remarkable thread in this regard!!)

Also:
Surfactants in car soaps can produce a false negative, as far as using "beading" as a qualifier.

-When you find at least one product that does all that you are looking for:
Please, by all means available, let me know what it is.

-The only ones I can think of are those hydrocarbon-laced solvents.
Perhaps there are some "name-branded paint-cleaners" that contain such solvents,
that are aggressive enough for your LSP stripping undertakings.
