From reading Jason's threads, I see that he uses DuPont Prep Sol 3919S for this step instead of IPA.  I'm sure he does it for a reason, but you'd have to ask him.

Folks,
The IPA or PREPSOL wipedown is done after compounding & polishing steps to see the pure finish. It will reveal if the problems were removed or not. Some compounds & polishes may hide the problems that you are trying to remove if the surface is not cleaned. This process cleans all oils or fillers off of the surface and either confirms or denies that the problem was taken care of prior to proceeding to the next step in the process. When you are charging $400-$600 and up you MUST make sure that every step you have performed has accomplished what it was supposed to. This step reveals if you reached your goal or not.
If so then proceed to the next step, if not then back up and go at the previous step (or another strategy) again.

Unless you are into super high end paint correction this process will likely not be required. When you are charging big money then this is part of the process required to confirm that you are giving your client the best that you possibly can.
