Hey, all.

I'm going to be re-painting the stock grille and headlight bezels on my '86 Silverado. The grille's plastic is a bit weathered. I'll be starting with a good wash, then some fine sanding. I have excellent plastic paint as a primer, which will be followed by silver. Question: after sanding, what should I wipe the plastic down with to remove and oils from my hands etc? I'm assuming laquer thinner would be too strong? What about alcohol?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Cheers,

BBQ
