We are using XT135 tooling prepreg moulds for making XC110 component prepreg parts.
Before laminating with XC110, we apply Easy-Lease Release Agent. We do not use other release agents. We know that Easy-Lease Release Agent does not have to be removed after demoulding. Since the prepreg process is relatively aggressive it is likely that applying Easy-Lease Release Agent prior to laminating with XC110 is optimal.

We are unsure where in the above production process Easy-Lease Mould Cleaner would fit in.
Does it make sense, from time to time, to remove all of the previous Easy-Lease Release Agent applications to prevent build up (which could reduce dimensional accuracy)?
Or should Easy-Lease Mould Cleaner be used when the mould is contaminated by a finger print for example (resulting in inferior surface quality of the final prepreg part)?
Or should Easy-Lease Mould Cleaner be used regularily in order to remove small particles like dust which are trapped in Easy-Lease Release Agent residues (which could reduce surface quality of the final prepreg part)?

No its not necessary.  The very light abrasive nature would remove any traces of the release agent during the polishing process anyway.
