Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Wash and tthen clean the paint surface with Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) also known as isopropanol, or rubbing alcohol contains 70% isopropyl alcohol, is a colourless liquid with a pleasant odour. It is highly flammable and is found in alcohol sponges, cleaning agents, and rubbing alcohol (although some rubbing alcohols contain ethanol) and is a good disinfectant.
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Used in various dilutions it is used for removing adhesive residue, as a solvent for petroleum type stains. See relevant sections for usage and dilution used.Used after polishing to check the paint surface for any surface imperfections not removed by polishing.
Methodology
•Using a fine mist, spray the surface with a 1:1 solution distilled water and Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) an aqueous solution will also eliminate static electricity from the paint surface
•Leave it to dwell for 30-45 seconds, agitate the surface before wiping the paint surface with clean, dry 100% cotton (DF Alpine™) towel to remove sealant/wax residue.
•Repeat as necessary
•Place your fingertips on the paint surface, by running your finger tips along the surface there should be resistance (surface tension) this is indicative of a clean paint surface i.e. without any sealant / wax /oils.

Oh, no wonder so many problems/questions. You're not doing this yourself.
You should really get some beer in the fridge, turn on a radio, and spend a good ol' fashioned American Saturday washing and waxing your car.
