Hi everyone, my question is why do people want to strip off wax with dawn or ipa/h2o? What is everybodys process on monthly waxing? Do i just put a layer of wax on every monthly or do I have to prep it first? I clayed & polished about three ago and just want to maintain the black paint.
 
So after a full detail, i should wax every month but is it ok to just wash and wax every month or do I wash, prep, then wax
 
after a full detail is ok to wax every month. (you may also clay some spots). after some time (6 months or more you should make once again a full detail (polish :P:P:P) and then you may want to strip all the wax from your car.

It is ok to just wash and wax every month. You only have to do a full prep when and if you feel the results after a wash and wax are not up to your standards.
 
While it is good to do the clean-start thing now and then, I go a *long* time with nothing more than a gentle claying with Sonus green before refreshing my LSPs.
 
for the next full detail, if I wash, clay, and polish; do I need to strip the wax beforehand or should the polish take care to that. Thanks guys for the info

The polish will almost always just cut right through what's on there now. If (big "if") you get gummed pads or some residue issues, then use the IPA mix to compromise the current LSP, but I wouldn't bother doing it unless it proves necessary.
