Going to paint my fender wells and trip on our Mirada. I will be using Fusion plastic paint and question is what do I need to use to clean the plastic before painting, removing grease film. ect. paint thinner, rubbing alcohol??

I would consider using acetone. But, I'm not a paint expert by any stretch of the imagination.

That might attack the PVC fenders, I would try denatured alcohal.

Don't use acetone it's a solvent-cement for most plastics, denatured alcohal, as mentioned, or plain old mineral spirits will work fine.

Scuff them with a green scotch brite and then wipe them off with rubbing alcohol.
