Recommendation for "Paint Preparation" Product?

[tenorplayer23]

Have seen chemical products described for "paint preparation" prior to polishing or LSP, if already prepared?

Any suggestions about which line works well and the appropriate prep-step sequence to use then with?

Appreciate the feedback.

See ya

Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, use it after polishing and before waxing.

I use a paint cleaner after washing my vette, before waxing. If I am doing a detail I just do an IPA wipedown before applying my lsp.

Hey how do you guys know when a paintwork cleanser is ready to be buffed out?

I have Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer and the finger swipe test doesn't seem to work on it. I like to apply by hand to the entire vehicle and then buff it all off, maybe giving it 15-20 minutes of "sit time" in case the glaze fillers need some time to work.

Did you find it hard to remove after 20 min.?
