MSDS for Thinner #216 says 75-100% Xylene, 10-20% Ethyl Benzene. So I'd use straight xylene to wipe down; it's possible that acetone is incompatible with Cetol. Use good nitrile gloves when using xylene; it's not good for your liver...

I agree with TrueBlue; you should thin ~25% for first coat; I found that thinning both the base and clear helped brevent getting it on too thick. If you don't apply thin coats it may either wrinkle or remain wet beneath the skin. I talked with a Sikkens rep and they said to use mineral spirits for the thinner.
