If the weather is nice this weekend I may try out Fire Glaze on my Boxster.



It's currently got 2 layers of Victoria Concours on it.



To remove it, which of the following would get your vote as the best compromise between results and time?



Wash with dish detergent (sorry but given the harshness of some of the stuff we use to clean our cars I'm not convinced this will do damage used that infrequently).



Meguiars APC via Pressure Sprayer or Foaming Spray (what dilution ratio?).



Good old manual labour - remove with Victoria Paint Cleanser (or various other products I have such as Carlack AIO/SRP) .



I think clay is out of the question as the car was clayed a few weeks ago and machine polished and I'd sooner not risk the marring etc.



Thanks in advance,

Paul
 
Claying wont induce further marring if you use a mild clay bar will it? Thats what I was going to recommend.
 
The Megs kit is what I have, though if I'm going to do a "manual" removal I'd probably use the Victoria Cleanse and clean the paint too (though that was done a few week ago too).



Does anyone know how good/bad the Fire Glaze is at removing existing product?



It's a one-step polish/sealant but I have no idea of its stripping properties.

oh, i wasn't getting at that mate, was wondering if you knew about the midlands DW meet on sunday?



it's at this place:

Advanced Packaging Ltd UK.

Unit 32 Parkhouse Industrial Estate

Brooke House Road

Newcastle-under-Lyme

Staffordshire

ST5 7RD



wondering if you were going? i am doing my best to get to it but still not 100% unfortunately
 
Oh I had no idea about that tbh thanks! I'm not too far from there as it happen, but I should (not 100% yet) be out most of the day - I'll check over on DW to see what's happening in case my plans fall through though.
 
Clay that's mild enough that it won't cause marring (even if you get a little heavy-handed with it) is also gonna be too mild to strip LSP without a lot of work.



Similarly, I don't find dish soap all that great for stripping a healthy layer of LSP either.



Rubbing alcohol, PrepSol, the base/alkaline part of a decontamination system or the paint cleaner would be my suggestions. I prefer the decontamination stuff, but most people don't have it on hand.
