There will be a follow up video based on comments from this video!
Jimbo, have you tried rust oleum wax and tar stripper? I think it is the only thing that can strip S&S without polishing. Even then it takes a few runs at it.
@@ryanTDG try Bowden's Own -Three Way
How's that follow up going
That’s NOT what this product is for.
Removing TOP COAT requires cutting the paint with polish, that’s what removes it, then you use eraser to remove any oil residues from the paint correction, then you apply ceramic or anything else you want.
Again a PREP SOLUTION does NOT remove a coating, it requires physical cutting through the coating
There are many ways to strip a car prior to this step. I would never use this to remove protection. The meant purpose mainly to use after polish/compound. It doesn’t say it will remove protection.
I don’t think anyone uses it that way. It’s made to remove polishing oils, I think you’ll get the same results in upcoming tests.
ya, there is obviously two types of paint prep.
Chad J yep I can’t believe he thinks that eraser is meant to strip protection. Most people use eraser after degreasing to remove surfactants and bring back hydrophobicity from previous protections. That’s what wax and sealant removing soap, or strip washes are for!!
Dude is a polishing oil remover not a wax remover...
@Tamir
Why wasting your money on Eraser, while you can buy Megs Final Inspection if all your goal is to clean and reviving the hydrophobic behavior? Final Inspection contain alcohol to remove soil and kaolin clay works as scrubber to remover the hardened surfactants salt.
Its to remove polish to check your pass😂
its isnt ment for stripping wax its ment for removing polishing oils
He's just a novice
@@bosszzzhogg yup
This is a product most for remove product oil left on the panel after polishing...
I use eraser as a last wipe down before a coating or sealant. You really need to compound and/or polish the paint to remove old wax or sealant.
Went just as I thought it would because those products are not meant to strip everything, a common misconception.
Agree with this - more for removing polish oils etc to prep for sealant/coating.
Exactly the problem of guys like this
Exactly. Eraser is meant to prep a surface FOR a wax or sealant, not remove it. This "test" is like seeing if gasoline will put out a fire...that's not the purpose of gasoline.
shouldn’t it erase stuff? Lol
Eraser is meant to remove polishing oils. Not meant to strip LSP’s.
Brewinz It is meant to strip wax that’s what Advertised as
Richard Vacanti I just looked, it does claim that. I would never buy it for stripping wax, but it is false advertisement. All these IPA based panels wipes claim that.
@@richardvacanti4265 It is not meant to remove or strip any wax, it is used to remove polishing oils prior to applying a wax or sealant. It is a surface prep for the wax and sealant, not a wax or sealant remover.
@@c6z061 it doesn't unless they've changed their advertising. Specifically advertised as a paint prep. Maybe third party are mis advertising the product?
www.carpro-us.com/deep-cleanse/carpro-eraser-1-liter-34oz/
@MarkS
Sorry chap, but it's what's written on the label. And also your money back guarantee promise from them, if the product didn't work like the direction of use on the label itself.
Most of the prep sprays won't strip a sealant and that's expected.
that's why coating manufacturers always offer a light polish to ensure everything is removed.
But that's aside that turtle wax for a cheap ass spray sealant is defiantly a beast.
And most in most cases the sealants/waxes will have been on the vehicle for some time and therefore, much easier to remove than something applied 5 minutes ago.
It's cheap, but there's lot of cheaper sealants that's even more tougher for less price than TW. Just spend more time in Alibaba or Ebay. And you will find it.
Eraser is not a stripper, it is used to clean up the paint after polishing the paint with compounds, so there is no oil or other residue on the paint before you add a protectant such as a ceramic coating.
Hey man, looking for something to strip my truck, what do u recommend I use? I currently have Adams “All Purpose cleaner” and Chemical guys “Signature series orange degreaser” would either of these work for stripping old wax/sealant off my truck? Thanks.
This is not even the point of Eraser, IPA, etc. It's to remove polish residue, etc, after you've stripped washed, compounded, polished, etc. I don't use a tire dressing to de-grease my tires either...
I thought this was supposed to remove polishing oils? I don’t think you’re supposed to use ipa to strip fresh wax. You need something not ph neutral
100%, hes trying something the product isn't made for then saying it fails. It's like taking a finishing polish with an application pad and saying it fails because it cant remove 1500 grit sanding marks.
if it can’t break down a $5 Spray sealant with zero cure time how do we know it’s even capable to breaking down polishing oils?
Auto Detailing Podcast 5 dollar spray sealant? Have you see the tests on it? Go check pan the organizer. I can personally attest to it to. A sealant is much more strongly bonded than polishing oils. It’s just like if you sprayed a degreaser. You use the ipa for getting the residue off. I’d like you to try it on HCW, beadmaker, all that. It’s not meant to break down wax. You need something like a citrus all purpose cleaner or just abrasives.
Auto Detailing Podcast and polishing oils aren’t made to bond to the paint. They’re made to be lubricant for the abrasive. “Carpro eraser intense oil & polish cleanser” “Eraser is an intense cleaner designed to dissolve oil particles and remove polish residue to prepare the paintwork for Cquartz. Eraser attracts polish residue and dust better and cleans better than an ordinary IPA. Eraser makes it possible for everyone to get the perfect Cquartz finish.”
@@autodetailingpodcast If you are really interested in the chemistry of it please let me know. That comment is like saying how can a 3a kevlar vest stop a bullet if it cant stop a knife.
I think it’s important for people to understand the only way to fully remove a sealant, Wax, or coating is by machine polishing and that no stripping product will fully remove any protection.
You're wrong, there is a product now. It's called kamikaze no 5. Check it out
If you want to strip polymers you need a high alkaline product. The alcohol based erasers will take off soap residues which most off the time are left after a strip wash! It will also take off oily residues after compounding or polishing.
So, IP alcohol can be used remove excess polishing oils prior Waxing/sealant ?
so waht prodect should I use to remove a wax ?!
please I need an answer
Should one use an IPA such as the CVS brand shown in the video on exterior plastic trim prior to trim ceramic coating or would you advise using a formal product such as Carpro Eraser?
What do I use to prep a car to use a power polisher if I washed it the day before, eraser, 100% alcohol or gyeon prep?
Cute family, enjoy the candid camera!
OPT Power Clean is my go to for wax/sealant stripping.
I reserve paint prep type products solely to remove any residue from the products I already used to strip the surface. This is a good test though as many people are using these products in this manner.
Auto Detail Lab I think you are absolutely right!
Nailed it i used ipa maybe after polish to remove the light residue but stripping, no dice, dont work like that.
@@mikeshanks1266 Hey mike help me out please. I can't understand if I have to do an ipa wipe down after polishing. Won't that remove the polish effect? So do I polish then wipe down with alcohol or do I just seal or wax over the polish?
@@joemontero725 ipa after polishing wont damage polishing as long as microfiber is clean, i use a brand new microfiber on fresh polish to avoid any chance of damaging my work. Ipa will remove any leftover residue to insure the wax/sealant bonds correctly to the polished surface. Good luck i hope that helps you!
@@mikeshanks1266 thanks mike. I'm on it for fathers day.
Hey Jimbo, great video! One thing I was thinking about after watching this video a few times (and watching the comments to make sure I'm not repeating anything): Was the Turtle Wax applied fresh not too long before shooting this video?
I understand the torture test concept, though I think it's difficult to understand how IPAs and paint preps work when: a) no polishing was involved, and/or b) *old* waxes/sealants weren't involved. It's only a thought, and I totally appreciate all the content I have seen thus far. I always love seeing different perspectives on auto detailing.
Jimbo, I'm sure YOU know this. These prep solutions are made to remove the leftover polishing oils(from paint correction) and to make the surface squeaky clean prior to applying a coating or other forms of protection. Some form of polishing is required to prep the surface, especially for a coating. Then to ensure there isn't anything left behind from the polishing process these products are used.
This for the win.
The win?
Can I use Carpro Eraser as traffic film remover, without damaging the existing coating or sealant?
Thanks for this video! I was always under the impression that eraser was used to strip waxes/sealants as well. Guess I'm learning from the results and the comments that its not really meant for that. I'm looking forward to seeing what ends up working best.
Vincent Smith yes i also got a wrong ideas to eliminate the wax,anyway just bought the carpro from amazon
The first time I polished my car I used TW Ice Seal N Shine as a sealant, then TW Ice Spray & Wax as a topper. The next time I wanted to polish the car I used Purple Power Boat wash, I clay barred the car, followed by an iron decon, Meguiar's? I washed the car again, throwing about 2 oz in the wash, followed by an IPA wipedown. I still believe all this didn't remove it entirely. Jimbo all you proved is how tenacious Seal N Shine is. :)
When I strip a car ( compound, polish) I only use Alcohol products to remove the polish . I would never use alcohol to remove a sealant or a wax by itself.
Hi Jim. Can you please show us what will work for stripping old or even fresh wax off a car that would be great. And I was wondering if you could please put up a review or put this wax against another wax. Turtle wax ice paste wax I find it to be the slip just most hydrophobic wax out there. And I wanted to find out how good it was as far as durability goes and what it would stand up to.
What do you think is the best course of action. I live were there is a ton of pollen. As soon as I park it in my driveway about an hour later there is a fairly thick coat of yellow pollen on it if I leave it there all day it is pretty thick. What would you do a) Bring it through the touchless tunnel car wash called Delta sonic they have no spinning brush it’s just the shammy‘s that comes down and agitates. And of course chemicals that spray your car clean.
B) Leave the pollen on there for a couple of days until you have a chance to hand wash it. Just wondering what you would do
I always do a light polish before putting in a coating, even if the paint is in great condition. It just helps me make sure I get previous products and even fresh traffic film off. I currently use GTechniq’s panel wipe as the final prep spray
This is used in prep for wax or sealant or ceramic coatings. To remove left over polish or cutting compound as well as oils from your skin. It’s not a wax/sealant remover. Just read the Amazon description.
Can i use this after i compound and polish my car so i can add a ceramic coating?
That’s when it is supposed to be used. 👍🏾
“Eraser was specifically designed for the complete removal of polishing oils for inspection and prior to the application of CQuartz or any other coating, wax, or sealant”. Might want to read manufacturers info to check what your expectations for a product are. These things aren’t designed for stripping coatings.
I’m not trying to strip a coating. Just a wax like the front label says
For a chemical to remove ceramic or any other good quality coating, it has to be strong enough to remove the paint/cleacoat . Ceramic is like nail polish and acetone barely removes it from human nails. The only safe way to remove coatings - as many have indicated is a rotary or DA polisher w/ a cutting compound. Then use IPA or your method to assure all compound residue is removed.
Great video buddy I was just wondering what vacuum you using to blow of or what are you using
Imagine being suprised on how durable the Turtle wax sealant is..
I stopped using Eraser after reading the sds. It is just IPA and water with a little dye. I can mix my own 25% IPA solution and get the same a effect for pennies.
For just removing oils inbetween compounding and polishing steps then an IPA is useful IMO
If I am going to apply a ceramic coating then gtechniq panel wipe mixed 1to1 is my go to.
Car pro Eraser is only meant to remove polishing oils before applying wax, sealant, or coating. It’s not meant to strip anything.
Totally misleading. These products are not designed to strip sealants off of paint? Hence the name "oil and polish remover" so why are we surprised when they don't do what they don't even claim to do? It's not concerning at all and doesn't leave any room to compromise a coating. If you aren't properly prepping and polishing a car beforehand which will remove the sealant through abrasion you probably shouldn't be coating the car in the first place.
Why not try using the mix people usually make as a alternate to paint preps, which is 15% IPA mixed with water and a small percentage of degreaser added to it.
when you start mixing chemicals, you need to know what you are doing.
This video just proved that the turtle wax stuff is durable. It proved nothing about CarPro. No one said you can wipe sealant off with it. It's to take off compound and polishing oils. This video is useless.
if it can’t break down a $5 Spray sealant with zero cure time how do we know it’s even capable to breaking down polishing oils?
@@autodetailingpodcast because it's just oil...not something that's supposed to protect paint
It is designed to remove oils and solvents from the surface after compound or polish.
thomkirby if it can’t break down a $5 Spray sealant with zero cure time how do we know it’s even capable to breaking down polishing oils?
Matt from Obsessed Garage uses it for post polish clean up. Works for him works for me :)
I use collinite 915 as my wax and then I use chemical guys vo7 as a drying agent. All I want to do is add a fresh coat of wax. My suv is black and still swirl free from my last 2 step correction. How do you recomend I go about adding a fresh coat of wax, I really only need to strip the v07 off which I don't think will be particularly hard. I'm still using the collinite 915 as my wax.
I would use the TW black spray wax
For the price Turtle Wax hit a home run. Seems like such a good product
Definitely would like to see a comparison for removing polishing oils and residue. I'm a firm believer that Eraser is a massive ripoff at over 80 bucks a gallon. It's almost an insult that they would think people will pay that much for basically a good smelling IPA solution. But people pay it, which is why they keep making it I guess.
DupliColor Grease & Wax Remover
My question, is what do you use ? I'm a driveway warrior and was going to do my first strip down here soon using 50% distilled water and 50% alcohol.
In most cases you're going to clay and polish and use products like this after you've done both of those mechanical steps anyway and most sealants will have been on the vehicle for some time, not freshly applied, and much easier to remove in general. This video is absolute worst case situation where you apply something and immediately change your mind.
What brand of blower do you use?
Wax and grease remover that painters use to prep before painting . Especially if you are always using the same panel
At first the kids where annoying, but watching how you deal with them really changed my mind
Parenting 101, well done sir
Thanks
What kind of blower do you have?
So glad that I saw this before applying a ceramic coating. I will first do some polishing, then apply 70/30 isopropyl alcohol, then another wash. Thnx.
Man that TurtleWax Seal and Shine is no freakin joke!! I'm starting to think that they have something in there that's not even on the Periodic Table... 🐢👽
😆
ya, unicorn tears.
Great info , thank you sir
How does this protestant up against lacquer thinner or mineral spirits?
For a true test on these panel wipe products take a small amount of various compound and polish and see how they dissolve. Ipa, all the branded ones, upol fast and slow. Very surprising how resistant some are. If your doing it for a ceramic coating this can really effect the results.
That’s a great test idea
Turtle Wax is just a great product. I wish I did know of something that would strip Si02 products, but if there was one, then I guess I'm thinking, the coatings wouldn't be strong enough to deliver all that they promise.
But what's more important is to thank you for being a great dad. Children are the most important part of your life, trust me as a dad that lost his 10-year-old and the pain and the loss never go away. It made my heart leap for joy when I saw the kids and their happy innocence when interacting with a very considerate and loving dad. God bless you.
I appreciate that and I’m very sorry for your loss. I know there are no words and I couldn’t imagine the pain you feel.
car pro eraser or isopropyl alcohol isnt going to remove most sealants. Its used to remove any oils and residue off the paint to get it ready for apply a wax or sealant. Before this you would normally do a chemical decontamination and clay bar and most likely a paint cleanse. Which will normally remove most waxes and sealants. Eraser is just a final step to remove any polish and oil residue so the sealant / wax has a better surface to adhere to.
great video again jimbo.thats awesome how tw isn't giving up.makes us wonder if panel preps are even doing anything.great lookn bunch of kids...
I understand the premise of the video but one thing to remember is eraser is meant for the last stage prep before a coating. This is after wash, decon, clay bar, polishing. This isn’t really a product made to remove sealers or anything with ceramic.
I like a good amount of dwell time with CarPro eraser. And before a coating I use ceramic pro cleaner a couple of times as well. beyond that? I guess I just assumed it worked...but who knows
I don't think the product is design to use it this way, is meant to remove left over oil from polishing compound that's usually use after decontamination with iron remover and clay bar. As a matter of fact, after clay bar, I usually find any wax or sealant are pretty much gone.
I trust panel wipe products to remove last step polish residue only. To remove sealant & wax I use dish soap + rapid remover
What a beautiful family ❤️ bro. Your a lucky guy. jim I've been in the business a long time and I'm telling you this seal and shine is beyond anything we've ever seen in a retail bottle. The only way to truly get that off if it's fresh is krud cutter tsp substitute after polishing it off. I've removed ceramic Coatings a lot easier than seal & shine. which leads me to another question that I think you should make a video about why is seal & shine not the gold standard for detailers? I think after watching these reviews and working with the product I'm letting my customers down if I don't use that on their vehicle. There's litterly nothing better unless you compare it to a coating??
Very nice video. Love your train of thought. A lot of individuals are saying that a polish should be done to remove any tough LSPs. Wonder how carpro would stack up againt standard alcohol in regards to removing an oily polsih residue, say Perfect finish. Great video regardless!
Wonder if Iron-X would remove the TW Seal & Shine? I use Iron-X as part of my prep for coating. Next time I'll watch closer if anything beads after it. Good video! I've also used Dupicolor Paint Prep to remove oils.
Naw. I’ve tried it. Doesn’t do anything
@@autodetailingpodcast thanks!
Great video buddy you always got great ideas
i use superclean cut with isopropyl alcohol.
2 parts super clean
3 parts isopropyl alcohol.
It's not for stripping just like the label says. Maybe IGL prep, mineral spirits, or citrol 266. I like your content but it seems you often times dont follow manufacturer instructions or in this case off label use.
KW0311 USMC but what happens if the detailer polishes with an aio before a coating a needs to strip the wax from the aio 🤔 just a thought
@@raycecars Detailers should not Use AIO Polishes ahead of coating. There are Lots of alternatives Out there for moderate defects that are free of any Type of silicon.
@@raycecars Probably best not to use an AIO pre coating application as you would be working against youself. I use mineral spirits now since it's cheaper and works better than most of these products.
First
Low Oder mineral spirits, and give it about 5 minutes of dwelling time. Then work the panel with a low absorbent mf towel. Then wiping the panel clean. Then I go back with a product like eraser.
Eraser is fine just to remove the residue of polishing compound oil, polish, but no more!, Or to clean the windows 😉
Try using an iron remover, it removed my coating off before I went to polish
what's that air source? master blaster? seems like it works well:)
Shelandy pet dryer
@@autodetailingpodcast whatcha think? good for a mobile detailer? My leaf blower battery died and i don't feel like getting another one lol.
For under $100 it’s not a bad option
Auto Detailing Podcast which model pet dryer is that? Thx
I like how everyone is in search of the most chemical-resistant coatings and sealants, but they're "shocked" when mild solvents don't remove those same coatings and sealants instantly.
If you want to remove old protection, use a polish. If you want to remove the oils leftover from your polishing step to help your coating adhere, use Eraser. If you want to waste money, spray Eraser on a panel in hopes it will remove your old coating.
I think a DA is the only way to remove a fresh product. I use IPA diluted 3:7 after the DA to remove any polishing oils. For old wax/sealant removal I use Angelwax Perfect Polish with a DA. I do start with a stripwash but am not convinced how effective it is.
Hi . The yellow microfibers that you use are kirkland ?, they are good ?. In France they are at 33eur the 36 pack , ie ~ 0.92 cents d'euro one microfiber, really cheap !, very good for product testing 😊
I like them
@@autodetailingpodcast thanks
There not designed to strip protection, there designed to remove residue before costing or even waxing a vehicle.
Not to strip a lsp
They're > there
Does anyone else think Jimbo uses waaaayy to much product? He does like 10 sprays to my one? Watch his detail vids. It's nuts.
First, Turtle Wax Seal N Shine is awesome but I took it off my car because it gave my red car a cool look. Secondly, I am going to stick to using Maguiar’s Plus to break down waxes or sealants.
I know this is an old vid but such a cool dad move to include the kids in your vid and not shoo them away! Tells me a lot about the man you are. That’s what I got most of of this vid! Respect!!!!!
Thank for you time , good video .
How he didn’t know this product is to remove polishing oils and not remove sealants and waxes,....is beyond me. It just shows he’s not nearly as knowledgeable that you’d think he’d be since he is a professional detailer.
Can you do a test of Hydrosilex Rewind to test it's stripping power? 🙏🏼
Dude, Carpro Eraser is for removing polishing oils. I use it when i polish or paint correct my car. It removes the oil and film and works great. It is NOT designed for removing a wax sealant. Therefore, it will fail your test. If you want to remove the wax sealant, you use a strip wash for that.
I wouldnt suggest using eraser to do all the stripping. I would suggest a strong decon soap like the one from obsessed garage.Then one or two stage correct it to do the heavy lifting than use eraser to get the last of the residue off but no i wouldnt use eraser expecting to remove all the wax and sealant
I make my own ipa wipe, and only use for removing residue from polish or whatever i use to actually strip wax/seal. Other than that not much use for me.
Car pro eraser is used to remove polishing oils and leave s clean surface after you polish or compound and before you apply your final step protection.It is not going to completely remove your old protectant.with all the torture test you've done to seal n shine did you really think that Eraser or IPA would remove the seal n shine?
Rustoleum wax and tar remover vs duplicolor grease & wax remover
I love the rustoleum , duplicolor has swelled the paint for me in the past.
Nason silicone and wax remover
Is CarPro Eraser designed to strip axes and sealants?
Apparently not
How about a video on how best to remove coatings etc 🤷🏻♂️
Good way to keep family involved
Always!
after a polish I use duplicolor grease and wax remover. I would like to see duplicolor grease and wax remover vs rustoleum similar product on the turtle wax seal and shine. to me I would see what paint manufactures recommends. I wouldn't call either product a bad solution, but maybe use this demonstration on why using a degreaser first and then use the eraser to remove the degreasers residue. to be honest Jimbo, breakdown your panel into 4 sections use 2 sections for the seal and shine as you compare products and the other 2 for whatever random wax you use.
That’s a great idea!
@@autodetailingpodcast I enjoy watching your channel. Your channel definitely took me from a motivated clueless detailing to really making my Ram look way better than any Ziebart or dealership can do on detailing. I wish I had the pull to bring a detailing convention to Indianapolis. Anyways Jimbo keep it going.
Great video showcasing the differences. Any person applying a coating should be claying the paint first which is mechanically decontaminating the paint; and then of course anyone in their right mind would then proceed by polishing anyway to perfect the finish and and then chemically using a product like eraser to really only remove polishing oils not old products. A coating is not the same as a sealant and the general public should educate themselves before slapping something on their finish, if not only not to waste time and money.
how is this video not completely downvoted ? this product was never intended nor marketed to remove polymer sealants. This is for professionals doing paint correction and cleaning up before applying a coating. or checking the finish after correcting. This is why these coating companies selling directly to people on the street was such a risky proposition. Its why you will never see them on big box store shelves.
Test ONR as surface prep, David himself claimed that anyone can use ONR as prep for his OptiCoat.
Hmm. Isn't this product meant to remove any oils from polishing & prep your panels for a wax coat?????
Purple power boat and auto, clay, iron remover, compound, duplicolor wax and grease remover 👍
Cool stuff. I was almost going to buy a Prep product like this (alcohol-based), which does nothing at all.
Very informative as always
I’m mot surprised and I thought IPA type products were to remove polishing oils etc. The polishing would remove the old wax or sealants. The Turtle Wax stuff is pretty tough though!
