Thank You,Can acrylic lacquer thinner be used to clean metal in auto painting?
OK just so you know lacquer thinner is as flammable if not more than acetone. Plus neither one of them remove wax, or oils. First you want to touch the area to be painted as little as possible with you bare hands as the oils from them will be left on the surface.
You want a prep solvent. Duponts 3919 or something = to it. Two clean paper towel type lint free rags. Fold them up, soak one with prep solvent, wash an area then dry it with the second rag. Repeat until the entire car is washed turning the rag for every or every other section. Once the rag has been used all around get two new ones. If you drop one replace it. Two times should be sufficient. Let that dry for a bit, then use a tack rag, unfold it, bunch it up, wipe down an area, turn it and wipe, turn it and wipe. You don't want to use allot of presser with a tack rag as it will leave the glue on it behind, then you will have to rewash it.Can acrylic lacquer thinner be used to clean metal in auto painting?
I would tell you to try acetone - also known as fingernail polish remover. You can buy acetone at any major hardware store. It would be a much better tool than acrylic lacquer thinner.
BEWARE - Acetone is highly flammable. So don't smoke around it or use a space heater. ;)
