  best surface cleaner?

  Posted by Paul O'Shea on 8 March 2007 at 10:09

  Just after a bit of feedback as to what surface cleaners ppl use when fitting lettering/graphics to vans and cars. I have only really used Avery surface cleaner or Panel wipe. Also where is the best place for Avery cleaner i cant find it any cheaper than £7.00 a ltr which seems a bit pricey.
  Any advice is much appreciated

  Thanks
  Paul

  No I put ice in mine (on the rocks) much more sophisticated.

  Seriously tho I also use neat meths.

  I always use to use IPA, tried other things but always ended up coming back to IPA, I think it does a better job than meths but I know Dave doesn’t use it because it evaporates a lot quicker than meths.
