Hey Painters: Prepping for Paint, Whats he Best Way to Remove Sanding Dust Options

[andys]

I'm nearly ready to spray epoxy primer on my project. I'd like some suggestions on how best to remove the sanding dust. Much of the the car is down to the metal along with some filler here and there. An air hose merely got the big stuff off, but if I wipe it with a damp cloth there's still a lot on the surface. I will of course wipe down the surfaces as best as possible with wax and grease remover and tack-rag it before priming. There are many nooks and crannies that don't lend themselves well to wiping.

Two things concern me if I were to consider washing the car with water: 1. all the exposed metal will start rusting almost immediately (creating a larger rust removal problem) and 2. body filler absorbs water like a sponge so I fear it may take time (how much?) for it to properly dry out.

Any suggestions on the best process?

Thanks,
