Good old soap and water works great. They used to recommend, Mr. Clean,
but it probably doesn't really matter.

Some dish soaps contain silicone (dawn) and will cause the sprayed material to fish-eye.

Don't ask how I found that out.

I was told old fashion ivory soap works well with no additional crap in it.

You can tell by the way the water sheets if you're going to have a paint
fish-eye problem. I wash lots of stuff for painting with soapy water, it's a
great indicator if my sanding has been adequate.

Thanks all. I used some soap and water for now. But aircraft spruce had a special this week. Order $500 + and get a $50 gift card. So i ordered c-2210 and 310 alkaline cleaner as well as more poly products i needed.
