Default Best way to remove Nu Finish

Does anyone have a sure fire way to remove Nu Finish?? I've heard window cleaner or engine cleaner. Won't these hurt the paint?

Hi. First, need to know what Nu Finish crap you're talking about. I remember they had some wax you could put on in the sun or whatever. I think they have vinyl and rubber protectant too. Anyway, assuming you are referring to the wax........ All you need to do is wipe all the painted parts with a prep solvent (dewaxing agent) or you can clay bar the paint. Your choice.

So using dawn dish soap would be the same method for removing a exsisting bad wax job? It looks like I had some serious water spots or something on my front fairing when I waxed it and it looks like $hit. I want to remove all the wax and start from ground zero to get the vivid black shine back. Thanks!
