Panel Prep – The Foundation for Proper Bonding

Panel Prep is designed to remove oils, polishing residues, and contaminants from the surface — ensuring your coating bonds properly and performs the way it’s supposed to.

If the surface isn’t properly prepped, the coating won’t bond correctly. Panel Prep makes sure it does.

What Makes Panel Prep Different

• Removes polishing oils and residues
• Uses emulsifiers to lift oils to the surface for easier removal
• Longer dwell time for deeper cleaning
• Doesn’t flash off too quickly like traditional panel preps
• Prepares surface for proper bonding
• Helps coatings perform at their full potential
• Safe for paint, plastic, metal, and glass

How It Works

Panel Prep uses advanced emulsifiers to break down and lift oils, polishing residues, and contaminants to the surface.

Unlike traditional panel preps that evaporate too quickly, Panel Prep allows for a longer dwell time — giving it more time to clean thoroughly before wiping away.

This leaves behind a clean, bare surface ready for proper coating adhesion.

Why Panel Prep Matters

Skipping panel prep is one of the biggest reasons coatings fail.

Panel Prep helps:

• Ensure proper bonding
• Improve coating durability
• Prevent high spots and application issues
• Deliver consistent results

Where It’s Used

Panel Prep is used on:

• Automotive paint
• Plastic trim
• Glass surfaces
• Metal and aluminum
• Any surface being coated

Application

1. Spray Panel Prep onto the surface
2. Allow it to dwell briefly to lift oils and contaminants
3. Wipe with a clean microfiber towel
4. Flip towel and level any remaining residue

Surface should be clean, dry, and ready for coating.

What Is Panel Prep?

Panel Prep is a surface preparation solution designed to remove oils and residues before coating, ensuring proper bonding and long-term performance.

Why Do You Need Panel Prep Before Coating?

Panel Prep ensures that no oils or contaminants remain on the surface, allowing coatings to bond directly and perform as intended.

Can You Apply Coating Without Panel Prep?

You can, but it significantly increases the risk of poor bonding, reduced durability, and inconsistent results.

Is Panel Prep Safe on All Surfaces?

Yes — Panel Prep is safe for use on paint, plastic, glass, and metal surfaces when used properly.
