Thank you for answering that. I will rub acetone on it and see what happens to the surface. If it stays sticky, I won’t bother.

Over 40 years experience doing upholstery and interior repairs too. I don't think cleaning with diluted water base cleaner is a waste of time, especially on used car parts. That will get some contaminants off that solvent won't get off. Then follow up with solvent prep - alcohol works for me, sometimes we use acetone or a mix of alcohol / acetone.
Acetone is too hot too harsh for a lot of prep work it will damage some vinyls and plastics and leather finishes. But then we use water base or more correctly water borne finishes more than solvent finishes.

If you're talking painting plastics & vinyl then I agree completely. However I've used isopropyl alcohol for years as a wax and grease remover when painting cars and not one of them has peeled (oldest one is over 20 years old). As long as it's clean, paint on cars relies more on a mechanical bond (at least for the first coat). You definitely need a chemical bond with plastic from either a special chemical or your acetone. Isopropyl alcohol also works well for getting that last thin film of was off your surfboard when changing the wax 🤙🏄♂! I always say stick with what you know works for you!

Hello Ron, Thanks again, and again, and again! Please keep liking and watching!
what about mineral spirits instead of thinner?
Hello 1, Mineral spirits is great for removing soft glues, but will do nothing to promote adhesion. I'd stick to acetone for that. Please keep liking and watching!
Question. I have red vinyl chair bodies that attach to a metal frame. I want to remove the chair piece and repaint it.
Right now they’re really sticky. Do I still prep with acetone? I was wondering if being sticky means they’ve already started to break down so I would have a good sticky surface? I’m a newbie :-)
I found you and took your advice on which paint to buy. So I have my can of red paint.
Hello Rialta, Oh, you don't want sticky. Should feel very dry to the touch. I hope the Acetone can help you get rid of the sticky... Please keep liking and watching!
What about leather?
Hello Ben, Alcohol does absolutely nothing for adhesion. Acetone is very harsh and it does. Please keep liking and watching!
Please am really suffering to work because I don't have a good machine like your own, please help me on how to afford mine

Not disagreeing but Drugstore alcohol is weak. I think those posters are using old 99 or 99% pure alcohol
Hello Dew, I guess that is possible. I do know that Alcohol does not etch a surface. Please keep liking and watching!
Hi, what do you use to fill cracks in plastic and vinyl parts? Thanks.
Hello Damion, In the onld days, we used to use Bondo body filler in plastic cracks. I would never try to fill a vinyl crack with anything, it would look bad. I usually just replace the vinyl. Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks, and will do. What do you use to fill plastic scratches?
@@damienisabella2059 Hello Damien, I think if I had to, I would use a Glazing and finishing Filler Putty for deep scratches. A heat gun for shallow scratches. please keep liking and watching!
