Hey Carlos,

I wouldnt "waste" any Reset for removing existing LSP's. I think a strong APC wash or some highly alkalin citrous shampoo applied via a foam cannon and let to dwell for some minutes will remove any previous wax or sealant.

Are you compounding/polishing the car, or simply applying a new coat of LSP?

Let su know :)

^^ This, I agree with Carlos! Reset is not intended to be used for strippig LSP's.

X2 on what Carlos said! The surfactants (detergents) of Reset are only meant to clean VERY WELL and leave no residue behind (of itself) but is LSP safe so would not strip. The best way to strip (in my opinion) is claying and a light polish.

IronX is your best friend for removing old waxes, etc.

Ok then I'll use what remaining of my chemical guys citrus wash and gloss to remove LSP's then Imma iron-x the car and might use my polyshave pad to ensure nothing was left behind. Thanks for the advice buddy

Sounds like a plan Carlos. Btw...RESET is one of my favorite soaps for washing.

Iron X and CG Citrus left to dwell will KILL any remaining LSP :cool:
