I wouldn't recommend any water at all as it is going to be bare steel. Once you're done with the sanding, blow it all completely. Go by some Wax and Grease remover at Napa (otherwise called Final-Wash or final-Wipe), wash the whole car with it. The proper way to do it is to have 2 rags, soak one rag with the cleaner, wipe an area and using the second dry rag, dry it up right away. Repeat on the whole car. When you bring it to the body shop, tell them what you did and tell them you used a chemical stripper and washed the car with final-wash but thought they should know about the chemical stripper. That should do it Just don't use water.

The car is now about 90% done, only one door left. Every inch of the exterior has been taken to bare metal. Every piece of trim including all the windwos have been removed. It has been cleaned twice with degreaser and sanded down twice also. I've decided to get the car painted in the Lancer Evo Graphite Gray - A39 MZ313354 color. http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11014&page=2i'll post up the rest of the pictures tommorow before it's goes off to the body shop.
