re: wax stripping, I agree with JD1969's advice
nathansmith50: I would suggest you get your side skirts/scoops painted since they come yellowed from the factory. It made a huge difference on my car. In the process of blending, they can probably get rid of the spots and it's quite a bit cheaper than changing color.

You'll want to start off by washing the car, then use a paint cleaner. The paint cleaner will remove minor oxidation, strip old wax, remove embedded dirt from the paint, and make it feel silky smooth. At this point, you're ready to wax.
We have a large selection of paint cleaners, polishes, waxes, and sealants, so feel free to have a look. www.autogeek.net www.wolfgangcarcare.com

RE: wax stripper?
Hey! Someone else on this forum actually agrees with me about using Laquer thinner. We use it on almost every car at out detail shop. It takes off the wax, and is great for removing the rubber from your last burnout on the sides of the car. IT WILL NOT HARM FACTORY PAINTS!!! The only thing that it will harm is cheap, laquer based paint. Most cars that are dull just need to be wiped down with laquer thinner. Then, they shine again, even without a wax, though I recommend a thin coat of liquid or aerosol wax. Dawn does strip some wax, but doesnt even come close to laquer thinner. As far as wax not building up on a car, BULL$HIT. Wax a car a few times over the course of a year, then go over it with laquer thinner and a white terrycloth towel. That yellow stuff that looks like and feels like wax is....guess what....built up wax!!!!!!

RE: wax stripper?
i have used lacquer thinner on my car, and my families cars many times. we have never had any problems with it. it is great for getting tar and sap off your car too. just make sure you dont let it dry on your car, then it will mess it up.
