Wicked Cleaner

[jbuckley421]

I recently tried out the wicked brand cleaner, and gotta say, I'm not impressed. I'm using primarily for wicked paints, mixed with 4030 intercoat clear and 4020 automotive reducer, but it does not seem effective at all. I have better results using water and 4012 reducer. I can rinse and back flush with the cleaner a few times, and it'll come out clear, but then I can do the same with the reducer right after, and it'll be cloudy from paint. Anybody else have similar experience? I seem to get the same results with straight paint without the additives.

I just use the 4012 reducer as a cleaner, works great. I don't bother with any specialised cleaning products, and just buy the reducer in a bigger size (which works out cheaper any way).

Thats what I was doing, and will continue to do now, but thought I'd give the designated cleaner a shot. Pretty disappointed.

Same here. I did pick up some of the cleaner at Hobby Lobby on clearance for like $1.50 US per 8 oz bottler but haven't used it. I find using reducer works best for automotive urethane's as well. Being fairly new to Wicked colors, I have just used distilled water and 4012 reducer to good effect.
