Can WD-40 strip sealant or wax. The antenna of the car got stuck so my father sprayed some world famous WD-40 to loose it. Some over spray on paint and wonder does it going strip off any protection? The finish was Klasse SG top with P21s wax.
 
I wouldn't go as far as saying that it stripped *everything* off since it was simply overspray, but I'd still wash it and throw a coat of P21S on the area in question just to be safe.

It was just washed and then the WD-40. I sprayed with Meg QD and wait until next week for another wash.
 
That should be fine. The extra wash was just to get the WD40 off completely, that's all but if you QD'd it then it should be off. Just don't forget to reprotect after your next wash.



This has nothing to do with detailing, but it's a little fun trivia for you. Do you know why WD-40 is called "WD-40" and also why the can is blue and yellow??

Please enlighten me. No clue at all. ......mix with water and wax:nixweiss
 
I don't know the gentleman's name, but the inventor of this wonderful product played around with different mixtures to try to make a perfect all-purpose cleaner, degreaser, lubricant, etc. and he would bring each new formula home to his wife to try out in the kitchen. After many attempts, his wife FINALLY gave the thumb's up to the 40th mixture. The WD part of the name means Water Displacer, and the kitchen, well, it was blue and yellow. Cool huh?
