Does it remove the wax from your freshly waxed car?

No. In fact, I think it is polymer/wax based. To me, it enhances any existing wax. It's not harsh at all... Tbh though, I switched to Optimum No Rinse and like it much better.

Well I'm assuming that after you put the wax on what hair needs to be removed is off then no it can not. If this doesn't answer your question please clarify what you mean. Thank you

I have used this wax for years because it does a great job in an easy one step process. It has a very gentle cleaner in it, but is fine for paint or clear coat. It you have a new car and are still concerned about using a cleaner wax, I would recommend Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnauba wax which has no cleaner in it, is very easy to use and gives excellent results as well.

I used this to remove bug splatter from the car. I did not notice any removal of wax but I suspect anything that works this effectively on hardened bug splatter would have an effect on wax also. I would recommend re-waxing that portion of the car where it is used. The chrome should be safe as it is harder than the wax on the paint. A little wax on the chrome would not hurt though, and keeping a good coat of wax if good to protect the paint, it also helps to keep other stuff from sticking to the chrome. If you do not remove the splatter from the paint it will do damage the paint, so better to remove it and re wax the panels where you use the product. I used this to remove bug splatter from the car.

This would not be enough on its own to remove contaminants and old wax in preparation for polishing and fresh wax. You could certainly use this for the initial wash, but ideally you want to follow with something like Pinnacle's Paintwork Cleansing Lotion or the P21S Paintwork Cleanser. For even more cleaning power, use a clay bar after washing before a paint cleanser, then polishing and waxing.Cheers!

I have worked with vehicles for over a decade and I believe any soap does remove some of the wax or sealant, or at the very least shorten the time In between when you'll need to wax. As far as this soap compared to others I've used I don't think it has the best suds and seems to strip a little more than some others like the Maguire's Gold that I used before trying this one.

Yes! I have never used this before and thought it would be more like other waxes I have used. I wish I had come here to see these questions before using it as my house reeks and it is too cold to open the windows. I will not use this again unless I can use it outside.

Yes but make sure you put it on some paper towels for a day or two beforehand to pull the wax out of it a bit.

No wax, you can call their toll free number. I don't like any car wash with wax, it never works well. Good Luck!

It will no doubt remove the wax. I highly doubt that it would effect the paint. It smells like straight bleach, and is totally water soluble. Your answer is a bit in the air.Best of luck.

Hello! I really don't know I use it for exterior vehicle wax and it works well on them.

It should remove the sap. Once you use this you need to apply wax to the car though.

Pretty simple really...this is not a wax. It does not coat the car with a protection like a wax does. It's more of a quick cleaner slash shine rejuvenator. It goes on and comes off much easier than a wax product. It's to be used in between waxing. Although I have used it right after waxing as well to take out any smudges or streaking. It's more of a finishing product in my mind. Hope that cryptic response helps.

I never have, not sure if it would work on this wax though. It's very sticky and I won't be buying it again. It's very hard to take off all at once

It did on the one we received. We did purchase a supply of extra wax though. Eventually you will need it.

I only do the wax step, since My Truck is New and I Am extremely happy just doing that. I am sure if it is a older car/truck, the other steps could be helpful, but to tell the truth I have never felt the need since the wax cleans as U Wax It. The Wax is a Great Product just as a Wax

It will not harm the clearcoat, as it is only VERY mildly abrasive. I don't know that it would remove the old coat of wax if there is much wax on the car now. I suppose that if you put it on quite thickly and then buff a lot, it might remove old wax. I use this Meguiar's cleaner-wax every year and often two times a year, and it has always served me well. I do not usually wash with soap, and when I do it is a very mild car-wash soap, so I don't lose the coat of wax very quickly. Good luck! John
