deffo wash the be jaysus outa it with panelwipe especailly if its not in a booth and keep any polishes ,oil ,wd40 etc as far away as possible itl cause silacone reaction like fish eyes and they wont buff out if deep

i was planning on just hitting the rubbed down shell all over with the compressor air then alcohol wiping it.

is this the wrong idea or what?

Any motor factors will have uni degreaser or panel wipe its a wipe on wipe of liquid.... A tak rag is a cloth dats ever so slightly sticky and it just picks up small fibers etc after panel wipeing it.

Make sure to drain ur compressor and a water trap would be the job... Water in the lines will wreck ur paint job... even if the base coat is bone dry a drop of water on it and itl wreck it...

ok....drain my compressor of water using a water trap? is a water trap just a thing that goes in before the gun so that it collects any water in the lines or something?
