    Alcohol wipe down after polish?

    They work for both. Inspection and creating a good clean surface for bonding. I wouldn't apply any LSP without some sort of wipe down. And if you're in a pinch and don't have anything atleast give it a good dawn wash down

    Alcohol wipe down after polish?

    Ipa mixture,mineral spirits,Kleen Strip Prep All (my go to), and Griots Paint prep works well Not sure of the ipa mixture ratios and such as ive never used it. I've been getting nice results by misting the griots paint prep onto all surfaces and after a minute or two give a good rinse

    subi paint

    I would suggest spending more time with the 105 and perfecting your technique with it. It will be well worth it. I initially had the same problem with 105 and the two main problems I had was.. 1) too much product on my pads 2) not working the product long enough Good luck!

    Just bought a rotary...what to start with

    I usually use LC 5.5 flats with my PC. For the rotary I'm buying the flex foam backing plate and LC hydro tech 5.5 pads. Did some more reading and seen a lot of rotary users using these pads.
