You are joking right?

Its terribble to use those harsh chemicals on paint. The only non-clay decontamination system I would ever use is the one from FK1.

I suggest you call up FK1 and ask them why such products are so bad, you will certainly get your answer, and finding yourself dumping that down the toilet.

I know their system quite well, you might wanna take a minute and do a little homework outside of the manufacturers claims. (I believe their MSDS sheets are still available online also ) The basis of this decontamination kit is an acid. It does not neutralize itself completely until the wash is used that is designed as an opposite in PH levels.

A body solvent, used properly, will disappate much quicker and can be a value in car care. I dont specifically recommend it, but it has its place. Alcohol/water is also the basis for almost all qd'ers for a reason, it flashes almost immediately within the environment. Thus why I offer it when wiping a finish before sealant or after polishing to remove fillers.

its really bad for the paint to use solvent?? i neverheard that.

Just make sure you dont let it dry with the solvent in the sun..

i know you touched on this in the thread. if i want to start polishing and i do a test spot after im done with just that area. i wipe it with acohol then check it to see if the swirls are gone not covered up . that part i understand. but after im finished polishing the whole truck do i need to wipe the entire car down with alcohol? or after im done just go right to wax? also one more quistion. is it really nessery to do a wax removel on my truck every so offten? is it really nessery? what do you do? should i once in a while spray my whole truck with an acohol mix then wipe clean and go to a wax?also do i need to rinse off the achol before waxing ? thanks

I would clearly test a newly polished area, yes in deed. Only reason to wipe down entire car when done would be if using a paint sealant and knowing the polish contained some fillers or oils, but otherwise not really.

Ever watched your wife remove her makeup. She usually just uses soap and water at night. But once in a while they use some exfoliators and such to really bring back their skin. I kinda feel paint is the same way, although clearly not the same. I think all these products we cake on and use can leave some residue and thus best to clean or polish twice a year. A fresh finish or canvas.

I have no problem with alcohol/water at all for use before a sealant.

Howeverm if you are working on a customer's car, I feel you should always use the least amount of strong chemicals possible for the sake of the finish.

Thus why I always use clay instead of harsh solvents etc...
