Degreaser to prep panel for wax?

Hello

Can I use a degreaser (specifically Screwfix no nonsense stuff) as an IPA?

Appreciate I could use panel wipe or something more dedicated but the purpose is just to strip the panel back post polish in prep for wax. Given I have 5l of degreaser in the garage I'd be keen to use that.

Thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks
I would say that you're better going for a pure IPA as degreaser may leave behind a coating which may/probably will affect the bond between the wax and the paint.
