Cleaning Solution
 

I am getting ready to clearcoat my aircraft with KlassKote epoxy paint. I have blown the dust off with a compressor and now was wondering what is the best solution to give it a good wipe down. It is currently painted with model masters enamel. I am looking for a solution that will remove any unwanted dust, finger print oil's etc, but it can not be to harsh of a solvent. I was thinking on just plain old rubbing alcohol, as it evapourates vey quick. I will have to try it on a lacation to see what it will do to the paint. If anyone has any other idea's of what may work......................comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Never liked rubbing alcohol. The water in it can dampen anything not completely sealed and doesn't necessarily evaporate off a painted surface like we think it should.

I always used thinner. Whatever I was using in the paint. Denatured was next choice if the thinner was really expensive.

Tack rags are used by professionals for a very good reason.
