What else beside IPA

"<span style="background-color:rgb(247,247,247);color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">My testing would consist of observing light marring disappearing and then reappearing."
 
I have no idea .. never experienced it ( and I have used it a lot ) nor have I seen scientific testing that proves it ... only thing I have ever really seen on it was a post by TOGWT which was ambiguous and when questioned it was never answered.
 
What I experienced was swelling. It causes expansion of the paint and hides fine surface damage. Once the swelling goes away you are left with the fine damage that was hidden. 


It is true that I have not set controls and performed specific tests where I intentionally tried to swell paint. But you ask me specifically if I have observed it, not if I have documented it with scientific testing and the answer I have is yes.


 


For me it is a matter of spending a little more money to mostly use something that will definitely not swell. When doing our full paint restoration we are investing 40+ hours to refine paint to the absolute best we can. So when there has been swelling, we can observe it the next day(and sometimes hours later) when we are inspecting our work. It isn't from generating too much heat on the paint. We restore paint while keeping a strict eye on the heat we generate. Basically, we make as little heat as possible while working the paint.


 


I get it if you still don't believe it and that's ok. I am not trying to change your mind. Just answering your question.
 
I use Eraser before applying Opti-Seal, it works great. I understand that some people on this site use Valugard New Car Prep N-122. Valugard states this is a "safety solvent". They say it is safe for paint and for humans.

New Car Prep is an excellent solvent for polish residue removal as well as stuff like removing the where Rapgard from new cars
 
From N-122 msds.

ValuGard follows the law, so any product that contains any hydrocarbon solvent, in any percentage, must state those warnings on the label. In your haste to provide information, you neglected to point out it is also--NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-TOXIC, NON-COMBUSTIBLE. The product is "private labeled" for Ford and Chrysler under their brands, and was required to pass all the testing by both companies World Health and Safety Labs, as well as be each of their paint suppliers to their assembly plants.
 
There is some observations that Car Pro Eraser may cause a issue if you use Opti Coat 2.0... as anyone else heard this or seen it.

I did read the responses here just looking for more feedback from the Pro's.
 
Chris Thomas- NO need huh?  The Hyper Polish is that, uhm...."clean"?  I woulda still done *something* but I'll defer to your expertise.


 


Hey, how about the Hyper Compound?  Same deal?  I'm thinking areas where finish-polishing isn't really required (e.g., back side of wheel spokes).
 
I dont use opticoat, so I cant comment on the compatibilty of erasure


 


erasure works just fine for Gtechnique, cquartz finest, and 22PLE for me.  Ceramicpro has their own line of products and their paint prep blow IPA out of the water!!!!  Its pricey as well, but works well.


 


Im stocking their cleaner for their coating line, and erasure for the 22PLE and Cquartz jobs
