Carpro's Eraser

[Rsurfer]

I love it Ron and would buy the 5 liter in a heartbeat. Like Dave said, this stuff does go fast. As for the paint swelling debate, you would know more than me as you are a more seasoned detailer. I have actually bought a few products based on your posts! In the past I have used IPA straight and never had swirls return. I tried cutting it (IPA) 25% per Mike's thread with decent results. Mark sent me some Griot's Pre-Wax Cleaner and I really like that as well but Eraser left the surface squeaky clean.

Squeaky clean is what I'm after. Most paint cleaners leaves something behind.

I really like it. It makes the towel glide, removes all the oils and left over polish, and on top of that it smells nice too.

I haven't tried mixing it 1:1, but I will next time I use it and see how it does.

I'm inexperienced but I wanted to try this as close to the 11% IPA mark as possible so I used it at 2:1 over the weekend and it worked well for me. I assume 1:1 wouldn't be bad either. It was streaky but I assume that was because I used too much product on my passes. Next time i'll try a mix of 1:1 and full strength to see if I like either better. I loved that it didn't feel grabby and proved to me that I wasn't doing a good job on my test spot which I later corrected.

Ugh you guys are killing me! I have some but won't get a chance to use it until spring!

i use it and test it on few cars , even non metallic black.
i apply with one towel , buff dry with a clean dry towel. no strikes.
i use it just when IPA 25% can`t handle the job or as prep when i apply permanent coating on a car.
for no strikes or less , have clean mf towels and replace them often when you wipe/dry the car
i also use eraser when i doubt about filling when i do a test spot...
a good product to have

Happy New Year Ron!!

I agree with the others like Richard and Dave... excellent product. I also agree it costs more than it should (doesn't 95% of every product us geeks buy?) but I find it is an excellent tool for checking polishing results and before applying any coating. It will indeed leave the surface very clean during or after polishing.

It won't completely kill a sealant as that's not what it is designed for but it kills oils and everything in short order.

Here's my review and another thread I made with video of Eraser vs. IPA

Btw: in case it helps anybody you can find a list of all my reviews in the small blue link at the bottom of any of my posts. You can also google for instance "Review: CarPro Eraser" or whatever product it is. Using the exact format I show there will bring my review of a product to the top of the google results if I have done one.

What's your thoughts on paint swelling with IPA?

My thoughts is that IPA swelling is a completely theoretical debate that is pretentious with no actual measurable or observable data to support that it has any sort of detrimental impact.

TLDR: I use and will continue to use Eraser straight out of the bottle as long as there continues to be no evidence that it does any harm whatsoever.

Hi
all i can say is that 5L or even 1L gets much cheaper .
its all depend on AG, so use your community customers force to ask for bigger size bottles

Thanks Corey and Happy New Year to you. Mike P might have a book, but you have "The Truth In Products."
