| John,
   Yes, I guess  alcohol be a cleaner rather than a conditioner.  However,
I'll bet
They call it a conditioner because it conditions the surface by removing
oils so
The paint will stick.
I believe the DuPont metal conditioner I use is 5017.  I don't have the
bottle here 
At work, and I didn't look it up on my Morgan web page.

        John:
        My local paint shop sold me some Dupont Kwik Prep 244s.  Upon
reading the 
        very fine print I discovered that it is isopropyl alcohol and water.
All for 
        $14/qt.  I only used a little and am thinking of returning it since
Revco has 
        a better deal.  Wouldn't alcohol be a cleaner rather than a
conditioner?
