Never use any petroleum based cleaners to prep a surface before painting, they can leave residue behind and you'll probably be rather pissed when the paint starts peeling off later on

The Duplicolor kit comes with a can of Brake Clean. I also painted the hub area black... the rears really needed it.

I'm no chemist, but I dont think I'll have any problems.
