Car Wax Removers
To get the clearest finish from your wax or paint sealant, the paint should be totally clean. A wax remover will strip off existing wax, sealant, and silicones to promote better bonding of the new wax and a clearer gloss. Wax removers come in many varieties. Prewax cleaners and polishes, paint decontaminators, detailing clay, and certain exterior cleaners can all be used to remove wax.Wax removers are also made specifically to remove white wax stains from plastic trim. If cleaned within a few days, you can erase wax stains from trim easily and permanently.

What’s the difference between non-abrasive polishes and spray on wax removers? A non-abrasive polish will remove previously applied waxes and sealants while also deep cleaning your paint, ridding it of below surface contaminants. A non-abrasive polish is designed to be applied by hand or machine. It is the preferred method for removing old waxes and sealants. A spray on wax remover will chemically strip the paint of all previously applied waxes and sealants. These are generally spray on, wipe off products. They will not remove below surface contaminants. If you're the type of person that finds yourself applying a different wax every chance you get, a spray on wax remover is for you.
