Why use eraser over IPA

[JSFM35X]

Pretty simple. I want to know what about the eraser makes it better than a proper mix of IPA.

Thanks for the education.

Eraser is safer, the chances are slim but it can happen if you use a high concentration. Plus eraser smells amazing.... Car pro needs to make an air freshener.

Oh and...

I don't know that Eraser is better. But I choose to use it because it is less grabby when wiping down a car compared to IPA, and as a CarPro user they suggest it so it's what I use.

If I was to use Gtechniq I think I would choose to use their panel wipe.

I think your more of a panel wipe guy

If I'm not mistaken, (I may be due to age) Corey said that eraser removed polishing oils etc, but not sealants and some waxes

It has a lubricant that should help prevent towel marring, particularly on very soft paints.

^What they said... IPA is very grabby. Eraser feels less grabby and therefore gives me more confidence that I will not be harming the paint that I just spent many hours correcting.

I like for it being less grabby and easier to buff off.

^^ What everyone said + it also smells better than IPA.

I would suggest to get a sample. I think you will like it but some may prefer IPA due to the cost.

Eraser smells good but I like chemical smells. I'm not sure which one is more pleasant to my sniffer.

 

[The Critic]

My understanding is that Eraser contains a decent concentration of a surfactant, so it may be more effective at removing oils than IPA alone.

 

[The Gloss Boss]

If I am super hungover, then IPA brings me to the verge of puking. That's why I prefer Eraser.

What is considered the correct mixture of IPA and distilled water?

I think there's an established theory that 15% is the correct amount, but I've found that 15% IPA (91% concentration) will not adequately remove most polishing oils. I use 50%.

I have found nothing removes residues like Panel Wipe...

 

[Concours.John]

Eraser or Prep All are my go to. Eraser especially on super soft show finishes.

 

[KillaCam]

Eraser works great, I just wish it was cheaper.
IPA feels like it dries out the paint.

wonder if you could use IPA with a waterless wash that would add lube but nothing that would be left on the surface after? I Just use eraser if I am going to bother with a panel wipe. Most times unless I polish I just add wax or sealant over the old wax or sealant.

I have used IPA mixed w/ Meg's D114. Worked pretty good IMO. I still feel more comfortable with Panel Wipe when it comes to removing residues though.
