Last Thing to Clean Your Car With Before Paint

The right product for the job, never had any problems using this method .

 

70% Isopropyl alcohol. Sold in drug stores.

 

x 2 unless I don't have wax/grease remover then I skip straight to tack rag. I will say I've become partial to the Dupont rags.

 

No*****. Just go buy a gallon of wax and grease remover at the local proffesional paint shop. It's too much of a catastrophe to discover the car is covered in fisheyes because you were too cheap to get the right stuff. Do not get the Duplicolor stuff, it's worse than waxing the truck first. Some things are very well worth the extra ten bucks to save a hundred.
I swear, I've seen some of the dumbest advice I've ever seen in the past few months than I've ever seen. Polish with swirl remover? Really?

Worse than that, someone started giving advise to a question asked a year ago. Wtf?

 

Castle window cleaner all the way. Forget pre kleeno and the wax and grease removers. Just scrub it good with the Castle. Just be sure and keep wiping till all the residue is gone. Don't wipe it and leave it wet, wipe it completely dry.

 

Yeah we tried those rags about 2 years ago, but for some reason we didnt like them, I forget why
