Hi

As said above, panel prep but if you go to the trouble of that it make sense to also get a tack cloth. Degrease then just wipe the tack cloth over and blast away... don't forget the hanky for the face and a bottle of milk to drink.

well white spirit is definately a no no      its  made out of  pressed squirrel gonads and leaves a vermin residude which causes   silicon pop and the painter to turn into a nut eater


so i would definately suggest panel wipe   as a superior product  we use sikkens panel wipe   and a tack cloth is definately a must fella send me your addy and i will post you some          beware of the spirit wipe it will cause untold squirrelness
