Diamondbrite on used (waxed) car.

[Rory]

It's a year old car, that's been waxed several times. As the Diamondbrite stuff is supposed to bond to the paintwork, I assume that if the car's been waxed, it'll bond to the wax?
Therefore, do I need to T-Cut (or similar) that wax off first?

 

[Spinal]

Not sure about what it bonds too, but instead of T-cut, if its the wax you need to remove, I would recommend a clay bar...

A good polish with a good quality polish using clay bar on any stubborn blemishes should do the trick. But you do need to get all wax off or the DB can't bond

You must get rid of the old wax,ideally get the bodywork steam cleaned.

hope this is ok for some members without the CAPITALS.

What about a panel wipe or similar - should remove all traces of wax etc?

to be honest the diamondbrite base coat removes the wax from the paintwork

Thanks - that sounds easier than steam cleaning etc.
