Will #81 remove anything at all?

[Cam]

A while back, I did an 80/81/16 combo on my car. Now I want to try #26 and I figured I'd just do 81/26. Here's my question: will the 81 remove the old 16? Or should I use Deep Crystal Cleaner first? Thanks.

Hi Cam,



the #81 Hand Polish is a non-abrasive polish and contains no chemical cleaners either.



That said, just the act of rubbing some type of liquid over a waxed surface tends to have a cleaning and polishing effect which is either accentuated, or diminished depending upon your application material, and your application procedure.



Apply the #81 Hand Polish with a soft gentle motion, using light pressure on a soft clean foam applicator pad and it will probably not remove all of the coating of the #16.



Apply the #81 Hand Polish with a wool cutting pad on a rotary buffer with heavy pressure and it will probably remove all of the paint.



Application material and procedure are a factor to how aggressive any product is.



If your goal is to completely remove the #16 Professional Paste Wax, then I would opt for using the Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner with a little elbow grease, or even ScratchX.

Now there's food for thought!
