yea dude. thats it. put in half of that with water and u`re set. just becareful. it does make removing left over polish easier but makes application and removal of the next product harder, since it dries out the paint...

im assuming u`re just comparing the effects of the use of 50/50 spray for removing polish residue to the effects of washing your car with dawn. i havent dawn washed but i dont doubt that it will dry it out.

i really hope u didnt mean u washed u`re car with 50/50. that sounds torturous, let alone u wouldnt have any suds or lubricity. lol :naughty

When you buy that rubbing alcohol, make sure it contains only alcohol. Some contain acetone as well. Acetone is a much stronger solvent than alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol):
Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a somewhat unpleasant odor. It is highly flammable and is best known as the main ingredient in rubbing alcohol, but is also present in window cleaners, toiletries, disinfectants, antifreeze, and paint remover. To complicate matters some products that contain isopropyl alcohol also contain methanol, ethanol, or ethylene glycol.

Isopropyl alcohol is found in alcohol sponges, cleaning agents, and rubbing alcohol (though some rubbing alcohols contain ethanol), and is a good disinfectant. Most rubbing alcohol contains 70% isopropyl alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol is also commonly used as a cleaner and solvent in industry (it is used for detailing vehicles diluted in various ratios with distilled water)
