Is it nessasarry to remove the old wax from the cars finish before starting a full correction, or does the process of the correction (IE compounding, polishing) remove it for you. Also what would be the best method for removal? I heard dish detergent does a good job of stripping wax.

Re: Wax Removal?
Unless the wax was really fresh, it wont interfere with anything, and the regular claying/cleaning process would remove it.
If you needed to remove wax, yeah, dish soap would work. But not something most people ever really need to do. (although plenty of people do it often, just not needed.)2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue

Re: Wax Removal?
A lot depends on how old the wax is and overall what you're looking to accomplish. A very fresh coat of a durable synthetic polymer sealant may dramatically slow down the buffing/correction process at first, but if the car hasn't been waxed in a few months and you plan on claying and paint cleaning, there's not much wax left anyway so it really should not pose an issue.Michael Stoops
