Can get it at any autobody supply shops.
Someone might also come along and say laquer thinner. A friend of mine was told to use that. Never used it as a 'final wipe' though because we just use wax and grease remover.

I've always used it for this and it works fine. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 18 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 18 | go to body suppliers and get a gallon of panel wipe, or equivelent, no mess, wipe on wipe off, fast dry, ready for paint. | | |
