I have searched for some suggestions & information on how to properly do a 50/50 wipe down with no luck. I have a NBP acura and it's just been freshly clayed, compounded, & polished and I'm a little hesitant to just go right at it with a micro fiber and the 50/50 mixture. Is there a particular good way to do this without marring or introducing new scratches into the paint?
 
Application - fill a fine misting spray bottle with a dilute solution equal parts P21S Total Auto Wash / isopropyl alcohol /distilled water and then spray the surface you have just polished and allow the solution sit for approximately 15 seconds. (TAW will provide surface lubrication to minimise surface marring)



Agitate the area with a clean panel wipe or a soft 100% cotton micro fibre towel (you may need to repeat this process) change the towel to a fresh quarter after each panel to ensure oil and debris are not re-deposited and observe. This should have removed any wax or oils that may have filled any remaining swirls and show the true post-polish surface condition. If a diluted IPA solution doesn’t remove the surface oils perhaps a specific paint preparation product, i.e. CarPro Intense Oil & Polish Cleanser or DuPont PrepSol II™ may be more suitable
