Prep Sol is a DuPont brand name for Mineral Spirits. Just go to the local hardware store and get some. The only difference is as far as I can tell from the MSDS is that Prep Sol has a very small amount of trimethyl benzene which makes it more toxic but probably makes it dry faster.

I use alcohol when I powder coat some things...or if you really want to get technical they have wax and grease removers at paint stores or body shops. Tack cloth is only used for removal of extra dirt for a super smooth paint job.
