White T-shirts with DX330. Use a tach rag after that. As long as your careful youll be alright. Make sure you wipe all of the DX330 off. Youll be hating life if you dont.

I dont know anything about the compatibility between the two products, youll probably have to call the store you bought it from or the companies sales rep.

sounds like you are skipping the cleaning part. Use a wax and grease remover before tacking the panel off. Hot water with a sponge is probably not enough. Also some sealers say to put one light coat on 1st then one med/wet coat right after, or they will fisheye. Again, that is something the data sheets will tell you. Go by those and you should be golden

only time i dont seal is if im trying to keep my blend in a really tight area, otherwise i like to seal with shades of gray depending on what the color calls for...you can paint over a shade of gray primer and the same color gray sealer..and you will always get coverage in less coats over the sealer, i always prep my blend panels with 600 on the DA, and a superfine pad, and i always use a colorblender/wetbed,even if you sanded with fine enuf grit not to need a wetbed to fill scratches, you still need a wetbed to get your metallics to lay right in your blend, but we are talking black here so you dont need to worry about that.... never have any issues and been doin it for 8 years. wetsanding must be a thing outside of here..cuz i always see people doing it on here..only time i ever do is when im 3000'ing my 1500 grit scratches out before buffing. or if im really tryin to make something nice i may wet sand with 600 ..but not often..and what im sayin is applying to the system i use..which is ppg global...different paint systems can be drastically different in application techniques from one to another..
