Clay and correction material removal from finish

I have read on Autopia about using Body Prep, Hi-Temp Prep Wash, Meguiar’s (Detailer) Body Solvent, IPA, FK1 # 1119, Preosolv and Dawn/ CG Citrus Wash, for removing clay and correction material from the finish. From what I have read on Autopia the Hi-Temp Prep Wash and the IPA seemed to be the easiest and safest to use. Am I correct in this assumption? I am discounting using the Dawn/ CG Citrus Wash because I am not sure it cleans the finish as good as the other products. In a search of the best product to use I came across this prepsolv product that is made from citrus. http://www.petroferm.com/datasheets/157_TDS.pdf It seems to be less hazardous to humans.



Thanks,

I know that alot of you on this forum have been doing detailing longer and are at a higher level than me. Please give me some feedback on this.



Thanks,

For the most part you are correct, they are cases however, where the LSP is very fresh or the glaze/wax/sealant that you are trying to remove before polishing is VERY stubborn and requires a little more chemical intervention with some mechanical agitation.

I somehow missed your post until now...



Yeah, IMO the IPA and Prep Wash are simple, safe, and effective. You might oughta keep IPA off of clear bra/PPF materials.



PrepWash is more effective for removing oils than IPA *IME*.



I don't know about the citrus-based stuff, but I'd be sure to rinse thoroughly after using that.
