I find it to be easiest to wipe each panel with diluted IPA after each step. For example... once you finish compounding a door, wipe it with IPA, then proceed to the next panel. Compound the next panel, and then wipe with IPA before moving on to the next panel. Once the entire car is compounded, begin polishing. Polish a panel, then wipe with IPA and move on to the next panel. Repeat until the entire car is polished. Then we do one more IPA wipe down just to be safe before coating.

Noted! I've added it to my procedure. I didn't realize the IPA was so critical. So thanks Zach and
