Always cuts the grease/grime and evaporated quickly. I would imagine mineral spirits would work as well. Hell probably just about any solvent would work. You would have to be more judicious on platic parts though...probably use the nice prep spray on those.

You can use a tack cloth to pick up overspray,lint,dust,e.t.c. But if you must wipe between coats for whatever reason,use prep solvent that was made for automotive refinishing. BTW, using lacquer thinner or acetone prior to paint is a bad idea.Because they both leave film behind,which can cause poor adhesion leading to chipping and peeling. Use appropriate product if you want durable finish.
