Re: last step before last step protection?
Preferably not. If there's that much dust then I'll use something like Megs D114, Megs regular Quik Detailer, or M34 Final Inspection would also be ideal... Besides those sort of quik detailers, I wouldn't want to use any others which contain any sort of hydrophobic or gloss enhancing properties which might affect the lsp from bonding properly.
Usually most dusting occurs after compounding not polishing.

thats perfect ill grab some of that, i was going to get last touch on your recommendation but thats even better
i dont think to many of the gloss enhancing oils will effect wax bonding seeing as a lot of the glazes and finishing polishes are loaded with them

Re: last step before last step protection?
After seeing IPA and Eraser being used before any LSPs, I decided to check the process out.
I am glad I did.
Now I use either Eraser or Optimum paint prep.
It doesn't take much liquid but you need a fair amount of towels

Unless the LSPs specifically say
they have to be applied only to
those vehicle surfaces that have
undergone a wipe-down process
with, for example: IPA, Eraser,
and/or, other panel wipe products...
Then...I don't ever concern myself
with vehicles' surfaces having to be
"Squeaky Clean". In other words:
Why would I want to work backwards?

i agree and will even go one step further, i go out of my way to put those oils on the paint that others are taking away by doing an ipa wipedown. i use glazes i think they are good for the paint

This. I took this advice from Bob years ago and continue to do this. Only time I'll do an IPA, Eraser, or equivalent wipe-down is prior to a coating or to inspect under certain lighting before continuing my correction process. Are we really that concerned with the additional 30 days of protection due to "proper bonding"? I don't believe so. We are typically adding protection prior to the end of any LSP's lifespan.
