No it's the yellow stuff
See....that's why I originally bought it, for stripping off the old "stuff" for a detail.
And that's why I'm wondering/asking if it's good for a normal wash soap too? (from what you guys are saying)

Yellow stuff (citrus wash and gloss) does not completely strip. It's "wax safe" according to their website. The older version just called "citrus wash" and was red DID strip wax and sealants. I think citrus wash and gloss is pretty strong stuff though and leaves a real slick surface so I like it. They now have the slate product which strips. Or you can use dawn. Or do what I do and just not worry about it if you plan on claying because that will remove everything anyway
You could also do an IPA wipe down at any point to remove old waxes. It's a 70/30 mixture id isopropyl alcohol. Then dilute with water.

Gotcha, thanks
I swore I read somewhere that using it more concentrated would strip everything. Oh well

That may be true! I've put a lot in my bucket before and noticed it did start to remove protection on the paint. Citrus power!

At the shop now getting fuel filter, tire rotation, alignment and state inspection.
Turns out i have a wheel with two hub rings on it and one with none. Might explain the vibration i was getting, which i had blamed on needing an alignment.

Worst part was driving it down scenic country roads in sport mode for 40 minutes. [emoji4][emoji4]

might have been the other shop who did my lowering springs install, or may have been me doing rotation and not seeing it. either way, new rings on order.
