Default at what dilution would a all purpose cleaner strip the wax or sealent

hi all ive decided to use megs all purpose cleaner to clean the doors sills shuts around the boot rubber maybe the plasics in the engine bay im using 10-1 dilution will this strip the wax or sealent off? ive previously cleaned around the boot rubber with straight autoglym degreaser then wiped clean with damp cloth & waxed but since then ive got the all purpose cleaner & some jeffs prime strong cause ive got oxidation around that area but think its to far gone to polish out

correct

TBH if you do a good job on the shuts with the APC then you wont need to be doing them that often and so you can continue with your normal routine for months afterwards
