Switching LSP's

Just recently ordered some new products; Opt-Seal and BFWD. I have a dark slate metallic Altima and a red Silverado. The first question I have is does anyone prefer one LSP over the other for these colors? The second question deals with striping old wax\sealants. I've searched the forum and read considerable debate about striping any 5 month old remaining Zaino off both these vehicle without polishing. Both of these vehicles are in good shape with some light micro marring on the truck. For the Altima I was considering just using the BF Gloss enhancing polish to clean up the paint prior to using BFWD. For the truck I plan to do a 50%-50% IPA wipe down prior to using Opt-Seal. Any input would be appreciated.
 
I like opti-seal.



Also, you can strip the remaining Zaino with a good washing of Dawn Soap or some sort of aggressive car soap (CG's Citrus Wash) Or you can do a full IPA wipedown. You'll know when all of the Zaino is removed when you have no surface tension (beading effect)
 
BFWD and Opti-seal are both very tolerant of other products underneath them. But if you feel like stripping your protection, a light polish should remove any LSP. IPA or a strong soap will do nothing to a strong sealant like Zaino.
 
You could always strip the exisiting LSP with something like PrepWash or the first/alkaline step of a decontamination system, same idea as the Dawn/etc. wash but a whole lot more effective. Not that I'd probably bother stripping it myself...



As to "what looks best" on certain colors, well, everybody has an opinion but I'd try something very different from what's on there now so you get a diff that's worth the effort.
