What panel wipe is being used for cleaning vehicles?
The panel wipe we have been using for the past 5 years has been discontinued!!
I have been using another but it doesn’t seem to clean as well.
What panel wipe is everyone using for cleaning vehicles before lettering?Cheers

You can get it on ebay as well but its not the most economical way; ok if you just want a litre though.

Paul, I get these neodymium magnets from eBay every now and then and there magic for holding graphics to vehicles.
Ive seen me not even using any tape for some applications.
Trouble is there tiny and easy to loose.

Hi James
Yes I Have seen them before and was thinking it also may be a good idea to use them. Plus also faster for Realignment if needed. What do you think is the best size to use James.
All The Best

Do you mean those little immensely strong magnets about the size of a 5p piece?
I had some off ebay about 20 for 6 quid they are amazing.Also I use the 1 gallon panel wipe from dorotape, I dont do many vans mostly static signs so it lasts ages, but not sure if thats the one thats been discontinued you were on about.
I also get their bale of T shirts cut up to make rags, 5kg for about 9 quid I think. -
Meths for general wiping, autogylm tar&glue for crap, avery surface when needed. Cant remember what the wipes are called, the paper towells but its dust free.

Guys first post here and up and running. Great place to get the magnets and small nik nacks is http://www.dealextreme.com great value with the dollar at the moment. Free postage. Only downside is you have to wait about 3 weeks or so for them to arrive. Derek.

Not much to do with the original post though Derek,
Are you in the sign industry?Maybe pop along to the say hello section and introduce yourself?
Welcome aboard anyway,

We buy isopropanol in in 25litre drums with a pump on the top to top up our bottles. costs about £35 i think….
be careful on where you buy from as allot of this stuff gets watered down these days. also, buy local as you will pay as much on shipping or you want get it shipped at all due to it being a highly flammable liquid.
