some people also use citrus wash or diluted dishwashing soap

don't worry too much about thinning your clearcoat, you have 5 or more compounding sessions 'til it's in danger. the prewax cleaner is lighter than a rubbing compound as long as you're not hand rubbing it heavily or using a rough applicator/buffer. AND if the CC does fail.. Opti-coat.

isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipedown is at 1:1 dilution. use more IPA when wet. some use IPA straight.
oh, so if i have a sealant topped with wax in my car, I can just strip off the wax without stripping the sealant?

Citrus wash and diluted dishwashing soap can remove the wax but can it remove the sealant?
