What condition was your paint in and what did you do to clean the surface besides washing?

Never done much other than keeping it clean really. Never used clay, instead 3M liquid polish. Working it by hand, basically cleaning the paint rather than polishing. Have proven to be quite efficient.

Consider trying something like Iron-X too. It's non-abrasive.

I've been meaning to try that out but never got around to it. Paint seem really clean though, one reason probably being that I (or rather we, in the Nordics) pretty much every wash use degreaser, petrolium based winter season. Which on the other hand means a good sealer/coating is nice to have on.

Will this spray coating strip Collinite wax?

No idea mate. However as with any coating I assume a clean paint from start is the way to go hence wax have to be removed anyway.
