I never heard of using such and don't think that any painter would either,
use grease and wax remover for cleaning you can obtain it from an auto body
paint store and also follow the complete maufacures instructions on prepping
before priming so things stick, like I said I used to paint airplanes and
just wiping off aluminum is a good way to loose your paint job right into
the wind.

I used denatured alcohol to clean the fingerprints & dirt off just before
priming.

Steve: Good catch on my statement. I was trying to say something like "
Bear in mind that within two or three inches of the carb heat system is the
two two-inch cross over pipes with about 1,000 degree temp."
BTW: I handcrafted two heat shields to protect the non-metal part of the
carb heat system (don't know if this is necessary).
Sorry about the confusion. My computer is dying - it sometimes hangs up the
keyboard if it tries to do another task. I plan to buy the AnywhereMAP
system with an IPAQ. I am trying not to upgrade my PC until I'm flying.
Then I just might get a portable as my only other PC. Getting so close to
this point that I get really itchy at times. Good luck building! do not

I used the Alcohol method the same as Jen, for cleaning before priming interior
parts. I didn't see any need to use the more extensive "Pre-painting" prep
just to store the parts during construction. Seems it would all have to be
thoroughly prepped again just before painting anyway.

40 plus hours and loving it.
