Got my Stainless Steel bumper inserts for my Mustang. What should I use to clean the bumper off with to strip off ANYTHING on the bumper? Just a simple water/alcohol mixture?
 
Any heavy residues, WD-40 followed by IPA cut 50/50.





Just minor stuff or wax/sealants, IPA cut 50/50 x 2.
 
evenflow- IMO this is as good a time as any to pick up something like 3M's Adhesive Remover. Solvents like that are really handy to have around and I'd reach for something like that for a job like yours. I keep a can in the shop and another in the basement and I reach for them more often than all my other such products combined.
 
Will a normal NXT/Dawn wash for my bumper be enough to strip off any wax/sealant?



It says "3M recommend rubbing alcohol/water mixture before installing"
 
I don't think those washes would be enough. I'd recommend just picking up some rubbing alcohol - a relatively large bottle can be had for less than $1 - and using it. Go over it a few times.
