0 Chris@Adams Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Most IPA's that you buy is 70%, you can cut that about 50/50........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Agreed. Half strength should be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mdolandese Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Will full strength harm the paint, or is it just a waste of alcohol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luli-Spa-Beauty-Products-CHERRY-Scented-70-ISOPROPYL-ALCOHOL-1-Gallon-/281220318253?pt=US_Skin_Care&hash=item417a09842d I wouldn't use anything scented unless I KNEW it wouldn't be harmful to my paint. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Swan-Isopropyl-Alcohol-70-First-AlD-Solution-LOT-OF-12-/181312100910?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a370b1a2e Yes, if you intend to do a LOT of IPA wipedowns. Keep in mind, you'll mix the IPA and water in a spray bottle that's used to apply it to the car. Once mixed, you spray/mist it on like DS and wipe it off with a quality microfiber towel. (I still have over half the bottle I bought last year, after using it to fully correct all three of our vehicles.) 07stanggt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scootertrash19 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I bought a bottle of 90% for .99 cents, I mix it 50/50 and have had no troubles, just be sure the area is well vented! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
