Question about ISP/ wipedown
I have read alot in the forum about using ISP for final wipedown. My question is..and correct me if I have this wrong, but ISP is alcholol and water mix...But will that not dry out the paint, or strip the wax that I just put on ?
Thanks

It is not going to dry out your paint. You use it after every step of polishing so you can see the true finish. The wipe downs remove any oils left behind from the polish that will fill in the defects.

Don't spray IPA after you put wax on, do it before wax. It gets all the oils and fillers off the paint that the polish may have left behind. It lets you see the true finish and make sure the paint is perfect before putting your LSP on.

50/50 always works well, but you can use it full strength if you want. I mix 50/50 to slow down evaporation, if it dries too quickly you can get streaks. I keep a bottle of full strength for cleanup of mistakes, like if I don't get all the 105 off immediately and it dries hard I can get it off a little less aggressively.

The stronger the better.

And, this is just regular rubbing alcohol you get at the store?

Re: Question about ISP/ wipedown
Wouldn't the oils from the polish enhance the finish but when using IPA, it would remove that enhanced finish?
For example if you use a glaze or "polish" like Meg 07, that's a very oily product but that's pretty much what it is is oils to produce a high gloss, deep shine right? Using IPA wipedown would remove that?
