   Before applying stickers and before painting i know its always important to get ridda grease/dirt/bla blaa.. So i was browsing various shops online and came across these sugar soap wipes:
   
   LINKY
   
   Halfrauds also did a version, but i figured B&Q
   
   Just wondering if these would do the job for pre paint cleaning, or if theyll cause the paint/primer to react oddly?

   Don't buy halfords pre paint wipes there shit. Just get a cheap bottle of methelated spirit and some kitchen roll or if you use alot you can get a 5ltr bottle of (bodyline) solvent based spirit wipe for £15 quid from your body shop supplier.

   secondly, i never said they weren't shit, just they do the job, and are alot cheaper than buying panel wipe or meth spirits if you only need a small amount

    Well i literally only wanna spray a few things so im not really wanting to spend £15 on a bottle of whatever-it-is.. But also dont want to buy halfords crap.. Is there a good compromise or am i going to have to go for one or the other?

    Just get a bottle of methylated spirits its like 3 quid for a litre from any diy shop and works way better than halfords wipes.
