Petrucci, I see that you use a 50/50 Alcohol Water Wipedown, Why is that and what do you use to do that a wash mit? Just curious..

I use the wipe down to remove any traces of oils the Menzerna may have left over on the panels. It also gives me a better perspective if there are any areas I have missed when polishing.
