Prep Spray – FEYNLAB® Panel Prep

Panel Prep uses a deep cleaning solvent formula to fully remove medium and heavy oils from compounds, wax, or grease. This prep spray reveals a completely bare surface before ceramic coating, sealant, or wax application. The formula acts as the ultimate truth test, showing exactly what lies beneath polishing residue and surface contaminants.

Also called: panel wipe · surface prep cleaner · IPA prep spray · ceramic prep spray

Professional detailers and car enthusiasts rely on Panel Prep for the cleanest possible surface. The solvent formula ensures ceramic coatings bond properly and perform at their maximum potential.
  • Removes compound oils and polishing residue completely
  • Reveals true paint condition after correction
  • Essential for proper ceramic coating adhesion
  • Works faster than traditional IPA solutions
  • Eliminates hidden fillers and surface contaminants
  • Leaves surfaces completely bare and ready

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FEYNLAB® PANEL PREP is a deep cleaning final step to paint correction. Affectionately known as the “Paint Correction Truth Serum,” it removes all polish residue, oils, fillers, and topical contamination from exterior vehicle surfaces, exposing the true condition of surfaces. After thoroughly wiping with Panel Prep, surfaces are ready for final inspection before a ceramic coating or other topical protection application.
Traditional Alcohol-based cleaners can only remove light oils. They are no match for the heavier petroleum-based carrier oils and filling components and of most compounds & polishes.
PANEL PREP’s solvent-based formulation was engineered to work in two main ways. First, the formula physically attaches to light, medium, and heavy carrier oils, filling agents, and other contamination particles to assist in their complete removal. Second, the actives within the formulation work to chemically break down or dissolve the attaching bonds of contamination particles, which allows for a deeper level of contamination removal, a squeaky-clean surface, and the ability to see the surface’s true condition.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • PANEL PREP easily removes all surface oils or filling agents, revealing the true state of a surface.
  • Use of Panel Prep cleans surfaces completely, ensuring optimal bonding of FEYNLAB® or any coating.
  • Also works as an excellent streak free glass cleaner.
  • Body shop safe – 100% silicone free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prep spray is a solvent-based cleaner that removes oils, wax, and polishing residue from car paint. Panel Prep uses a deep cleaning formula to strip away all contaminants, leaving a completely bare surface. This reveals the true condition of paint after correction work and ensures proper bonding for ceramic coatings or sealants.

Surface prep products like Panel Prep use stronger solvent formulas to remove heavy oils and compound residue. Traditional panel wipes often contain surfactants that can leave behind their own residue. Panel Prep provides deeper cleaning without laying down additional contaminants, making it superior for ceramic coating preparation.

Panel Prep excels at removing heavy oils from compounds and polishing products that regular panel wipes struggle with. The solvent formula cuts through stubborn residue that can hide paint defects or prevent proper coating adhesion. Many detailers discover hidden contamination only after switching to this stronger formula.

Panel prep spray evaporates quickly and leaves no residue behind. Panel Prep is designed to flash off completely, leaving surfaces bare and ready for immediate coating application. The cleaning effect is instant and permanent until new contaminants are introduced to the surface.

Panel Prep is formulated to be safe for automotive paint when used as directed. The solvent formula removes contaminants without damaging clear coat or paint layers. Professional detailers use it regularly on all paint types, including sensitive finishes.

Panel Prep leaves a completely bare finish with no gloss enhancement or dulling effect. The surface feels truly clean and ready for coating application. This neutral finish allows ceramic coatings to bond directly to the paint without any interference from residual products.

Panel Prep works on all exterior painted surfaces, clear coat, and even plastic trim. Many detailers use it to remove wax buildup from black plastic trim and other exterior components. The formula is versatile enough for complete vehicle preparation before coating applications.

Panel Prep is excellent for spot cleaning before touch-up applications of ceramic coatings or sealants. The formula ensures small areas are completely clean and ready for product bonding. Use it whenever adding coating to previously treated surfaces or performing maintenance applications. For application tools, consider our microsuede.

If damage occurs to the surface as a result of using the product on an unlisted surface, we will not be held liable for any such damage. INCLUDED A 250ml or 500ml bottle with sprayer CAUTIONS Always wear respirator & gloves during application. Ensure application area is free of loose contamination. ONLY apply to surfaces with a Microfiber towel. DO NOT Spray Directly onto Panels or Surfaces. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Prior to application, place vehicle in a well-lit, temperature-controlled 50°F-85°F (10°C-30°C), & contamination free environment. Use two clean microfiber towels: Towels A & B. LIBERALLY apply PANEL PREP to saturate Towel A. Wipe Towel A thoroughly over the surface, leaving an even trail of product over the panel. Immediately follow with Towel B to dry and wipe the panel clear. If you have used compounds outside of the Feynlab line, please have tissues on hand to wipe tears, as fillers WILL be removed, and scratches will reappear. Wait at least 10 minutes, after wiping off PANEL PREP, to apply the Feynlab ceramic nanocoating of choice or sealant to the panel. ** If any residue remains after using Panel Prep, simply spray a towel 2-3 times with distilled water and wipe the surface clear. RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM AREA OF APPLICATION HALF of a door or 1/4 of a hood, then wipe off in same pattern as application. SHELF LIFE UNOPENED: 2 years // OPENED: 3-4 months (in a normal, climate-controlled environment).
