Bill,
Never is a pretty inclusive word.
My original post several months ago was pretty descriptive I thought. Soap and water to remove the oils and crap ,followed by a water rinse. No big magic. Solvent wiping is just one of those things that is used by many just because it has become ingrained, not because it is better. Will you have problems every time you solvent wipe? Of course not, BUT you are kidding yourself if you think it's spotless clean. That's all I was trying to get across.
No, I didn't specify what kind of soap or where to buy it but if someone has to have his hand held that tightly just to clean his parts then......Maybe I can sell some videos of a builder driving down to WalMart to get his soap.
I try to lurk unless the discussion is an area that I KNOW, unlike several on this list that would freely jump into a detailed seminar on brain surgery with pages of OPINIONS on how it should be done.
My delete key is almost worn out.

I can see your problem- John's post never takes a stand other than "prep
carefully". You might want to narrow your search down by saying what type of
paint you intend to use (Enamel, lacquer, etc.) and see if anyone bites.

rattle out of the box. Repeat as necessary>>
