Recommended surface cleaner before painting?
I just got done resurfacing my SLP runners and before I paint them wanted to know what is a good recommended cleaner to remove dirt and oily fingerprints before the paint that won’t leave any residue behind?
I know WD-40 is a hell no. What about denatured alcohol? At the moment I'm not able to order any fancy cleaners.

acetone is what I use at home, at school we use DX330 and DX393 (PPG products).
