Why in the world would you put wax on such a paint? Acetone, for example, just cleans Imron, it will not do ANYTHING at all to the paint. It is essentially unaffected by environmental issues that would seriously mess up the wax. So why dull the Imron in the first place. So stripping the wax will restore the imron to it's original gloss. You are right - it's not the wax hurts the paint - the buildup, as you mentioned, causes the dullness. Studies have also shown that wax is NOT good for Imron. Studies have shown that-chicken soup IS good for colds (see below). Imron is glossier than the wax you would be putting over it. It's important to remember that the main thing wax does is fill little imperfections so the paint seems smoother and glossier. Since Awlgrip is also a two part paint, like Imron, I would expect the same to be true re care. THe sealer, like awlcare, is useful becuase it doesn't dull the finish like wax eventually will but it makes the finish more slippery so dirt doesn't adhere as easily, making it easier to keep clean. THat's nearly 30 year old paint!!!! Admittedly, the car is always garaged when not running but he still drives it regularly. It still has that paint and still looks like it was just applied - also never waxed. I used to do a lot of painting with Imron I have a friend in Memphis with a Sunbeam Tiger that I Imroned for him in 1978. Our 15 year old Imron on the boat has never been waxed, only washed and OCCASIONALLY treated with 3m Finesse-it II (maybe once every two years). It will eventually dull the finish due to the coats of wax. Waxing Imron will NOT do anything useful. I can speak with some experience re Imron though not awlgrip.
