Like Todd j I also use PPG DX330 with no problems. Never use a tack rag that you would use on wood work. After all my work in getting a panel ready, I used a tag rag and you could see all the places where the waxy substance was left. The paint would not stick and it pulled away leaving little holes to the primer all over the place! As I recall I re-sanded the panel and wiped down three times with PPG DX330 using two rags, one wet and the other dry for the final clean. Change the rags often. I buy a bag of 250 lint free rags from Home Depot @ $12.00.
