yeah i was wondering would that be strong enough to remove the jetseal?

i havnt had chance to call my bodyshop, im guessing they will know what to do (they are registered repairers for mercedes, lexus and porsche for leeds)

Absolutely! Even Fairy Liquid would remove it.

Fairy wont damage your paint, it just strips wax off the panel. It contains salt so I believe it may help start corrosion on bare metal. Useful as a de waxxer is you dont have anything else available. Always wash off with plenty of water after use.

Fairy will damage your paint over time as it is a strong degreaser, same as Traffic Film Remover will damage your paint. It will also rot your rubber seals, turn your plastic trim grey/brown and dull single stage paints, but on the plus side you're hands will be soft as your face apparently :laugh:
Jetseal should be ok iirc as they are bodyshop safe and contain no silicone, silicones are evil and will give you fisheyes if not completely removed. Best to let the bodyshop know anyway though :) same with any treatments on the paint, some can be funny with paint and will remain even after flatting down :)

bang on monza, exactly what i mean re after rubbing down etc, i have had enough cars fully repainted to know certain products are a real pain to fully remove

as for fairy, i heard it contains a form of bleach??? could be wrong but notr what you want on your paint
