    Ipa prep ratio ?

    What is the proper ratio of either 91% or 70% alcohol to water for a prep? Where and when do you use it? Is this fine to use instead of a name brand prep? Thanks ahead for your advice to this rookie first time detailer.

    As to your question - here's a tip...

    If you have any questions about detailing, often times if you type a few key words into Skynet and add my first and last name - chances are very good I have an article on it and Skynet will index or find it for you.

    For example - I just typed the below into Skynet,

    how to dilute IPA Mike Phillips



    And the first thing it brought up is my article on how to dilute IPA

    How to Mix IPA for Inspecting Correction Results


    For the record I don't now and never have recommended using IPA as a panel wipe of any sort. I explain why I wrote the article in the second paragraph of the article. It was because we had a expert on this forum telling everyone else to do this without any precautions LIKE I went on to include in the article for those that choose to go down this road.

    And the expert that was always telling everyone to use IPA is now and has been Self-Banned for about 8 years.

    Easy come, easy go.

    Thanks for your reply, Mike. After reading it and doing a bit more research I believe I will stay from the IPA solution and go with a name brand. Thanks again for your time and updated info. ABSAV

    What will your first detailing project be?

    What will you use for your LSP?

    Can you even find 91-70% rubbing alcohol?

    I haven't looked myself but as we all type in this thread on Saturday, August 8th 2020 we're 7-8 months into the Covid-19 Pandemic.

    Just for point of reference for everyone that may read this into the future and wondering what the context is?

    Products like IPA are scarce do to their use for killing and sanitizing.

    I use Gyeon Prep as an IPA. The mixture is set perfect! Or you can use an equivalent brand. No guess work needed! That's great for my small pea sized brain to work with!...LOL

    I'm doing the 2004 sunbaked Pilot we talked about. I have ordered into Autogeek and waiting for supplies but it seems every time I watch your instruction videos I see something I need and put in another order (fantastic videos by the way). What is LSP?
