When damp sanding, I've been using rinseless wash D114 @ 1:256 (or Mckee's N-914) in a trigger sprayer and in my bucket with mirka abralon discs rather than a drop of dish soap. I was hoping Mike or someone else who does a lot of damp sanding could give me their opinion on the matter.
From my understanding, people traditionally used 1-2 drops of dawn because it helped provide additional lubrication. My question is, could any soap be used or does it have to be dish soap? For instance, could I use a quality car soap like a few drops of hyper wash or optimum car wash? Even though they have gloss enhancers I don't believe they have wax? Personally, for the past 20-30 orange peel removal jobs I have only used D114 at the tradional 1:256 dilution and it seems to work, plus I don't worry about allowing it to dry on the paint and it's easier to remove. I tried to use ONR but I'm really fond of the sudsing action of d114 and N-914.
If anyone has any personal suggestions or advice I'd love to hear them. If there is a reason to use a drop of dish soap that I haven't considered I would love to know!!! Thanks!!
