Chemical Guys CWS80316 Clean Slate Deep Surface Cleaning Car Wash Soap (Removes Old Car Waxes, Glazes & Sealants for Superior Surface Prep), 16 fl oz, Citrus Scent

Mix as directed, you do not need to "make is stronger" great product, removed road tar, pollen, old wax, and even pitch from a tree I parked my car under.

Strips away all build up of previously applied products so you can start fresh. It also really helps to remove bug and road tar splatters. Don’t use this unless you are going to wax or use ceramic protectants after.

I didn't know such a product existed (I'd been slacking the past few years in detailing my cars), and needed a wash that would remove the remaining synthetic wax and wash'n'wax from my paint after using a clay bar. This did a good job of that. After washing and rinsing, I could see that the water would not bead anymore and would form sheets that rolled off more slowly. That's all I needed to see to prove it worked. And it smells pretty good to. Glad I tried it.

Perfect remover for old wax, needed to wash twice but workered great

Works Great

Easy to use and did a good job of stripping off the old wax. I used this product in preparation for F11. The soap has a good scent and foams well.

Love it

I live in AZ and wanted to strip old wax off and reseal my BMW that had water spots in the paint. Bought this product because it was supposed to remove old wax and glaze. I washed as directed and it did a good job getting dirt off but as you can see the paint still beads water as does the windshield (I use Rainex) and does not look like it stripped any old wax off. It also did nothing to get out water spots. I had to buff out the water spots and rewash before reapplying paint sealant.

Muy bueno para lavar los vehículos

It's a good product old wax can be removed but sio2 base wax not affected at all, I gave 3 star due to seal was open

While it's really hard to say how well it actually works in different situations, but in my case it seemed to remove all of the previous coatings leaving no hydrophobic properties or protection on the vehicle. I used it in a foam cannon in conjunction with two buckets and wash mitts with success. I did find that because this is a liquid rather than a gel that it didn't foam up quite as nicely as my regular wash, but it worked nonetheless.
