    Final wipe down before ceramic coating

    I see that Carpro Eraser & Gyeon Prep is very good for this, is this still true or is there better.
    I was going to do IPA mix but have been put of by comments does work doesn't work, can make it worse spreads around instead of removing etc.
    Watched a video with Yvan, 1/3 Acetone & 2/3 Windex.

    Any other options/opinions would be appreciated.

    All that you mentioned will work, but I'm a little leary using acetone on my paint..I realize that its only one third, but still its a potent chemical.

    Go with Eraser or Gyeon Prep. It’s better to use something tailored specifically for your current need instead of some unproven DIY mix.

    Yes, before they made Prep sprays/wipes available.

    Something else as well please can you help, there seems to be like a stain type from a wipe couple of weeks ago. Any suggestions with steps to remove prior to coating.
    Was thinking clay just on roof?

    Have washed with Koch chemie AS shampoo.
    What I can see the car looks good other than the halve of the roof with the stain look. It looks smudge like.

    it doesn’t take a lot. I start with a few sprays on my towel and then a couple of sprays per panel. You should easily be able to do multiple cars with s small bottle of Gyeon Prep.
