First I need to say that I have painted well over a hundred cars in my life and I always use high quality wax and grease remover prior to sanding, body work, primer, final wipe down prior to tack ragging. A gallon of the stuff seems to last forever so the cost is not an issue for me.
Enter supply chain issues... Since I retired and the stock market is taking a dive, I have switched from the big name locally mixed automotive finishes to a mail order brand. (I save HUNDREDS on a paint job) I ordered some paint online from Auto Body Toolmart the other day and just got an email that it is back ordered. The order included the wax and grease remover I need for the pre-sanding step so I'm dead in the water.
Anyone have a good substitute for wax and grease remover? I don't want to soften the paint with lacquer but I thought perhaps a urethane reducer would not be quite so harsh? Anyways, I'm interested in a good off the shelf alternative for pre-sanding. Obviously I will have the right stuff when the paint arrives.
Thanks
