How to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?

Hello AlBdour... In the body shop before doing paint work we use a solvent called prep-sol.It's the same thing as charcoal lighter fluid.Just wet it down and scrub it with clean paper towels.I've found that Palmolive dish soap does a pretty good job,with some effort. Good luck,WildmannyHow to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?

How to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?
clay bar
PPG used to have a product called ';prep sol'; this should work ,,, follow instructions on container
Hit it with a large mallet.
McGuiar's Cleaner will work. Clay is much more involved and can lead to bad results unless you know exactly what you are doing. Follow up the cleaner with McGuiar's Polish, then McGuiars Yellow Wax #28. A machine tool will help greatly, but if you have to, you can do it by hand.
Try some Kleenz EZ from NAPA. It usually removes all bugs/wax/tar/etc. residue very well. Just be sure to reapply wax and polish afterward as your clearcoat will be completely exposed.
