[quote]I use water first then solvent. No real time in between. Just as long as it takes me to wipe everything. I also never use solvent on plastic, fiberglass, or SMC.[/quote]Yes this is the way i do it water then solvent, i have had problems doing the reverse.
Though as mentioned in the thread waterborne cleaner is good for taking the static out of plastics.

[quote]keep in mind waterbased clearner take ALOT longer to flash off than solvent based. i have been told once you wipe down with a waterbased clear the part needs to sit for 1/2hour to get the water out of any pores. it may look dry but in fact it isn’t. i used to get that problem on metal when i was going to epoxy. once i started waiting a little longer the problem went away.[/quote]Saving waiting around i will usually clean down with water cleaner, then use air line to blow down car cleaning of any dust particles etc this helps make sure the water has evaporated fully.
Then go over with solvent cleaner, never have a problem
Ironically i used to get the odd fish eye in my paintwork but when i added in the extra step of
pre-clean with water based cleaner this is now eradicated.I also use waterbase cleaner to scotchbrite with, usually da a blend panel with p1000 disc give the panel a squirt with waterborne cleaner scotchbrite clean down, works well for me.
I have one of these filled with waterborne cleaner

June 17, 2010 at 3:03 pm #21928i usually blow my stuff off as well. if i do that and just have the booth on for 5 or so minutes i usually dont have any kind of problem unless its a really nasty humid day here and the stuff just doesn’t flash. if you wipe dry and have poor flow like in a homeade booth then that is where the 1/2 hour comes to play.
