The goal is to get everything covered

Start with a good wash using dish soap.
This cuts most of the general dirt and
crud. Follow up with wax and grease
remover. Peter uses this PPG Wax and
Grease Remover, but if you can’t get
the pro stuff, he also recommends the
tried-and-true Bleche-Wite, formerly
Westley’s, now Black Magic. A little
cleaner on a lint-free cloth cuts the
wax, dirt, bug guts, bird poop, silicone,
etc. Clean every bit of every part to
be painted. Be thorough — a missed
spot can cause big problems with your
new paint. Peter writes the date on the
bottles. When it’s expired, it’s not used.
