I would agree with this ---- every "chemical" leaves behind "something" -- you want to make CERTAIN that something is compatible with the other products you intend to use. Think of paint as a system not a stand alone product.
Also -- there's a difference between "wiping off" and "smearing around".... it's a difference in knowledge and skill. Most people just soak a rag/cloth and run it all over which just thins out the crap they're trying to remove. They're really just spreading it all over the place. Actually cleaning and removing contaminates is done by wiping - flipping the cloth/rag - wiping - folding it again or getting new and continuing that process. It's not CLEAN until you can wipe and have no color change on the cloth/rag you're using.
If you just want it dusted - and aren't ready for painting - then it doesn't really make any difference what you're using -- except that if you put some chemical (anything) on it - then that WILL need to be removed prior to any coatings put on.
I use PPG DX330 Acryli-clean Wax and Grease remover...
