Default Best cleaning solvent before applying Raptor Bedliner?

I am about to Raptor Liner my Wrangler soon and have done extensive reading about it. Everyone says it is all in the prep, but don't state what cleaner they are using. Opinions?

depends on what you are lineing, if its any of the plastic, just dawn to degrease and rubbing alc after the rinse to take off any touch spots. if current paint, something harsher to take off wax and etch into the paint, usually acidic or you can sand by hand, you want a rough surface to bond too, generally the instructions of how to bedline a pick up trucks box, tell you what you need to do for the prep, just apply to all the metal surfaces you want to bedline.

I used denatured alcohol after sanding and roughing everything up.

I used MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone) when I did my Monstaliner as it was the recommended product to use in their instructions. I picked it up at Canadian Tire.
