    Alcohol question

    I just found this on the shelf. Probably bought it in April 2020 when everyone freaked out about hand sanitizer.
    Would this work as a final wipe down to remove all old wax and what not?

    I wouldn’t chance it, find some alcohol or buy one of the panel preps…

    You beat me to it, vaca.




    But to the OP, the other 20% of that sanitizer most likely contains glycerine and/or moisturizers. I wouldn't use that for a panel wipe.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Re: Alcohol question

    I think regardless of any other arguments the glycerin would kill the deal

    I'm envisioning a gloppy residue or film
