Did a fast check and did nt notice anything on this topic, and I am sure if I missed it someone will guide the way.
Anyway what is the best way to clean wax off your car. I plan on putting a pinstrip on the car and it say's to make sure there is no car wax. So any ideas?

 

Denatured alcohol.

 

What I have done, to apply vinyl decals, which is basically the same material, is to use isopropol (rubbing) alcohol on the area where you will be applying the pinstripe. I'll double check with Henry and let you know what he says. He's detailed cars for over 30 years, so he should know for sure.

Edit: Just talked to him and he says that's the safest and easiest way to prepare the area. Plus...it's something most people have hanging around the house.

 

I knew Deb would be one of the top 2 to help me out and the Cpt would be in the top 3

Thanks for you help. Time to get get ready to strip the car.

 

prep all from autozone works good too

 

I was going to ask that very question also! Would clay bar also do the trick?

 

if your going to be painting i wouldnt rely on a claybar, id settle for the prep all for $3 a can and be sure you finish will be fish eye free

 

Fish eye free? Whats that?

 

Little round defects in the paint job.

 

I'm confused. I thought claybarring was to smooth the surface of imperfections but it sounds like it MAKES them too
