Why would you do this and what do you use for the ethanol? Whats wrong with going from vinegar —> water rinse —> air dry —> primer/paint/etc.


"drying" with the ethanol is to dissolve (miscible) all of the water that might linger in hard to reach spots, etc that might otherwise be there and leave residues. 2 rinses are really better. Ethanol also then evaporates at a lower temperature and more rapidly than water. As such, a cleaner & more rapid process wherein you can get that coat of primer on before any hints of any possible oxidation of your nice clean surface can take place may be achieved.
