Yes it is the only time too ever use it on your car.I do it once a year to strip it down and start fresh!!!

yea that is what zaino recommends but if you are going to use a cutter of some kind to get swirls etc out of your paint that will more than remove the old waxes.

it strips all the waxes off your car and "presents" a clean surface to start your new detail.
