Garage Queen? As much as humanly possible! I guarantee I won't be driving it to work in the summer here in Florida. Every afternoon the skies open up in Biblical proportions. And I work a block from the Atlantic ocean so salt is in the air as well. Am I being paranoid?It is physically impossible for salt to be in the air. In ocean spray, YES! Air, NO.
It's amazing, some people on here have been painting cars for years, I've been building and painting cars for 43 years, yet some people still have to argue with us. If those of you
(not pointing at you Tiny) who still want to do it your way, then don't ask for advice.
We have been wet sanding cars for years, right down to the bare metal. We have also been washing them down with Dawn since it came on the market. It cuts grease, grimes and oil. But there will always be someone that will state," Well I wipe mine down with grease and wax remover also just to be safe." I also wipe down a car with alcohol and water just before I lay down my first coat of base coat. I don't use Grease and Wax remover. If a person paints less than one car per year, I don't think they're qualified to give advice on how to paint a car.
