1. Detailers clay
will remove wax but only a small % of polymer sealant
2. Dawn
contains both surfactants and emollients both of which are left behind when the surface is rinsed. Both these chemical components will hinder the bonding, and therefore the durability of a paint protection product.
3. Reagent isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
will remove light polishing oils but doesn’t do so well trying to remove their surfactants
4. Gtechniq Panel Wipe
removes surface residue (silicone, surfactants, oil, wax and polish lubrication residue) allowing a ‘clean’ surface prior to the application of a coating product to effectively form a chemical bonds
Panel Wipe blends pure alcohols with aromatic solvents to dissolve any polish residues and 'flash' off, to leave a completely ‘cleaned’ surface.
