The #34 has better lubricity to help with that. ONR is another good (better?) choice, but I`m just a sucker for #34 so I usually reach for that instead.




    And what`s your technique for PrepWash? I tried it full-strength on some 205 residue and to strip LSP on my hood, and it became a big, streaky mess. TIA


    Basically, I just "use as directed". I mix it a little strong, but I don`t use it undiluted. I spray it on, let it dwell, and wipe it off with a damp, or even *wet* MF (usually a MF mitt). Then I`ll often spray some distilled water on the panel and wipe it off some more. I keep using it until it stops bringing up oils, watching for that "rainbow" effect where the oils mix with the PrepWash.



    I can`t help but wonder if your "steaky mess" was almost a "feature", you know...as in, it was getting the M205 oils and the LSP to rise up off/out of the paint.



    Can`t help but wonder how it`d work even more diluted than the advised 50:50 mix; the previous version had a list of various dilutions for different applications.

    No directions on mine, the printing on the label was unreadable. I sprayed it on and tried wiping it with a dry MF, I think that was my issue. Thanks.

    Aha, yeah...I bet that explains it.
