Are baby wipes a suitable substitute for more expensive panel wipes when getting dust off the surface?....
Anyone use them before the tack cloth stage?
Cheers

Wouldn't they leave a lanolin or baby oil coating on the surface as I'm sure they are impregnated with something.

Baby wipes are oily. Something solvent based would better.

A diesel soaked cloth is great for removing dust  |

Use lint free cloth and a gallon of panel wipe, panel wipe is not perhaps the cheapest, but its the best and you can use it for a multitude of other things as well, you can get it at any decent motor factors or paint shop

Baby wipes will leave all kinds of oil and soap and stuff on the surface.
Panel wipe really isn't that expensive providing you Don't buy the individually packaged wipes from halfords (about £4 for 3 wipes!!!!).
Go to a proper refinishing suppliers and you'll be able to buy 5l of panel wipe for about a tenner and a pack of blueroll/paper towels for about the same. It'll last you years.

As above. Paintwork is one area I would try not to skimp on. After all, you'll see the potential mistake everything you see the car . As Cobblers said, I still have my gallon tin of panel wipe from years ago. It has been handy for a multitude of things. |

it was a cheap one off matt rattle can spray job on a dusty dirty bare petrol tank to be used for a winter hack bike...hardly dangerous idealogy...
I have an abundance of baby wipes and couldnt be bothered to trek across two towns to get the proper stuff when the rest of it would just languish in the garage for probably years...
anyway thanks for the replies...the baby wipes worked fine for this application but I rubbed harder with tack cloth I had lying around to get rid of the residue.....
I do admit I wouldnt use them on a proper resto tho...there was one area that crinkled a bit, probably caused by residue, but just rubbed it down and covered it again
