Morning Detailers. I'm still new to detailing so I'm sure there will be a lot of silly questions I'll be asking. Anyway after machine polishing which is best to remove the oils from the polish as I was going to use ipa but after looking into it a lot of people online say just to use panel wipe. Can anyone help:thumb:
Gtechniq is water based, the upol is solvent based. Waterbased is lower voc, easier to store, safer on sensitive plastics. If gtechniq sold solvent based it would have to come in metal spray bottles.
Definitely some sort of panel wipe.
I've had lots of use with Gtechniq Panel Wipe & Bilt Hamber Cleanser Fluid.
I also use IPA mixed with Deionised water (30% IPA) - but this isn't for use when machine polishing or when prepping a panel to get bare paint - instead I use it for example after a maintenance wash and before applying a wax (to ensure a better bond, but without killing off what's on there already).
IPA is not a replacement for panel wipe, it doesn't work as effectively.
Check out this video from Forensic Detailing Channel about panel wipes:
I use Spies and Hecker 7010 panel wipe. I use it every time I have carried out a "full" detail before applying a sealant/wax. Very good product
