How do you safely remove any existing waxes?

I used Optimum Paint Prep. After washing and drying your truck you just wipe it on with a microfiber towel and that will strip away the wax.How do you safely remove any existing waxes?

Looks fantastic Dave!I finally got around to using the new 303 Graphene last night and this stuff is really great. You can coat over any product including ceramic coating with this stuff. I wanted a fresh start so I washed, clayed and striped the old finish off with paint prep. The Graphene goes on very easy and you need to do a crosshatch pattern, you only need a few sprays on a microfiber pad or foam pad. I put way to much on the first panel and it was dripping and took forever to dry…less is more!
It takes about 10-15 minutes to haze over depending on temps and humidity so you can do about 1/3 of the truck then go back and buff out. It’s safe for all areas so I did all the glass, rubber around the windows and the headlights and taillights too. It gives you a super smooth mirror finish with great UV protection. I ended up doing a second coat just for added protection and you can clayed up to 3 coats. You can also use your favorite speed detailer or gloss enhancers after 1 week. The nice thing is there is no curing time like ceramic coating so once you’re done you can drive it right away. It can also be applied in direct sunlight which I wouldn’t recommend so it’s very user friendly. It’s supposed to last for 1 year and being a new product there’s no real world data yet but I’m confident it will as 303 makes great products and stands behind all of them.

Yes that works great too. I didn't have any so I just used this stuff.Can you do a IPA wipe instead of using a paint prep spray? i have lots of 99.9% IPA
Thanks Mike. It really makes the Saber color pop.Looks fantastic Dave!
The important question is...did you coat the damper? Inquiring minds want to know!I finally got around to using the new 303 Graphene last night and this stuff is really great.

Well of course I did.....You really think I wouldn't. lol ?The important question is...did you coat the damper? Inquiring minds want to know!
I will have to invest in it! How's it do on plastic? Any haze or residue?Thanks Mike. It really makes the Saber color pop.
None what so ever. I used it on everything even the headlights and taillights. It works great on glass too, way better than Rain-X.I will have to invest in it! How's it do on plastic? Any haze or residue?
It's been about 6 weeks since I Graphene my truck and took advantage of the nice 70 weather today and washed it. I know it's only been 6 weeks but it beads up really good where I've had other products fail mostly because of the sun out here.

Beautiful finish, Dave. It looks like it was anodized.It's been about 6 weeks since I Graphene my truck and took advantage of the nice 70 weather today and washed it. I know it's only been 6 weeks but it beads up really good where I've had other products fail mostly because of the sun out here.

Thanks Chris! I'm really happy with the Graphene so far as nothing usually last to long out here. The real test will be over the next 6 months through our summer heat but I did do two coats for some added protection.Beautiful finish, Dave. It looks like it was anodized.
