    Improving IPA solution for LSP prep

    I only use D114 with IPA. ADS sells 32 ounces for cheap and it lasts a long time. For all other needs, I use UWW+ concentrate.

    We're all here to help!

    That mixture is something I'm going to have to try out in the future.

    D114 basically makes the IPA more slick and cleans as well. Doesn't flash too quickly either which I like.

    Re: Improving IPA solution for LSP prep

    OK quick update. Was able to try the solution yesterday. Leaves a film behind so I will cut it by 3 for next test. So that will bring the total concentration of soaps to 1% from the original 3%. Will let you know how it goes if it can ever stop raining in this place.

    If you're a true professional buy eraser in a 5L and save some money, its WELL worth the money if you're charging hundreds of dollars to apply a coating.

    Gtechniq panel wipe removes everything and I don't even trust Eraser when applying a coating. Another hood one is Sonax Paint Prepare, excellent panel wipe and very economical.

    this is correct. to be clear to others (i know you know, Mike), Dr G says this regarding his polishes (except Poli-Seal and GPS, obviously).

    for other brand polishes, he encourages an IPA solution.

    for those that don't know, the procedure now for Opti-Coat Pro is to use OPT primer polish (has coating adhesion promoting properties), wipe with a damp cloth, assure surface is dry and coat! the polish is basically Hyper but with an additive.

    another reason why i LOVE the Hyper polish he offers. he really hit a home run with the Hyper twins.

    Re: Improving IPA solution for LSP prep

    Ya I am not doing coatings yet. I am mobile and doing coatings outside seems like a bad idea to me. I use my IPA (or what ever will replace it this year) after polishing and also as a prep for Sealants and waxes. If I was do to coatings, I would follow the manufacturer's directions. So far my plan is to use Opti-Coat. Looks like the best overall product to me. I have a tube of it but never applied it. Will use some on headlights soon
