Wipe Surface Prep – Ceramic Coating Panel Wipe

Prep Your Surface the Right Way

Wipe Surface Prep is a premium ceramic coating surface prep cleaner designed to remove excess polishing oils, lubricants, and residue before applying a ceramic coating. Proper preparation ensures maximum bonding strength and long-term coating durability.

If you want your ceramic coating to last, surface preparation is not optional — it’s critical.

Why this product is essential

After compounding and polishing, paint may appear flawless. However, polishing oils and fillers remain on the surface. These residues interfere with ceramic coating adhesion.

Unlike traditional waxes or sealants, ceramic coatings require a surgically clean surface to properly bond. That’s where Wipe Surface Prep comes in.

The Extra Step for Ceramic Coatings

Standard detailing steps:

1. Wash and dry

2. Clay (if needed)

3. Compound and polish

4. Apply wax or sealant

With ceramic coatings, there is an additional step:

1. Wash and dry

2. Clay

3. Compound and polish

4. Use Wipe Surface Prep (panel wipe step)

5. Install ceramic coating

Step 4 is the most critical step for coating longevity.

The Problem with Conventional Panel Wipes

Most panel wipes rely on strong solvents to remove oils. While effective at stripping residue, they lack lubrication.

Modern clearcoat paints are highly scratch-sensitive. Low-lubricity solvents increase the risk of towel marring — reintroducing fine scratches after you’ve spent hours perfecting the finish.

What Makes Wipe Surface Prep Different:

Water-Based, High-Lubricity Formula

Designed to safely strip oils while minimizing the risk of towel-induced marring.

Advanced Surfactant Blend

Chemically dissolves polishing oils, lubricants, and contaminants that interfere with ceramic bonding.

Reverse Osmosis Purified Water

Uses highly refined, filtered water free from total dissolved solids to ensure formula stability and purity.

Safe on Multiple Surfaces:

• Paint
• Wheels
• Glass
• Plastic
• Rubber
• Metal trim

Pleasant Scent & User Safe

No harsh solvent odor. Skin-safe and comfortable to use.

Green & Compliant

• Biodegradable
• VOC compliant
• Prop 65 compliant

Key Benefits:

• Strengthens the bond between paint and ceramic coating
• Extends coating durability and performance
• Safely removes polishing oils and fillers
• Prevents accidental towel marring
• Ideal pre-coating prep spray for any ceramic system

Simple Application:

1. Do not apply in direct sunlight.

2. Ensure surface is cool.

3. Shake well before use.

4. Work one panel at a time.

5. Spray lightly onto the surface.

6. Wipe with a clean, lint-free microfiber towel.

Spray. Wipe. Coat with confidence.
