Why proper surface preparation matters
Every high‑performance coating or wax performs best when bonded directly to clean paint — not to leftover polish oils, silicone residues or other contaminants. Panel Wipe removes those invisible barriers, improving adhesion and maximizing the life and gloss of your protection system.
Key features & benefits
- Maximum coating adhesion — eliminates oils and residues that prevent coatings from bonding effectively.
- Removes polish residue — dissolves polish oils and fillers left after machine correction.
- Decontaminates surfaces — delivers a 100% pure surface for superior protection performance.
- Streak‑free formula — fast‑flashing solvents and alcohols evaporate cleanly for a crystal‑clear finish.
- Safe for paint — engineered for modern automotive paints and clear coats when used as directed.
How to use Gtechniq Panel Wipe (Step‑by‑step)
- Work in shade and ensure the vehicle surface is cool to the touch.
- Spray the surface cleaner onto a clean, high‑quality microfiber cloth — do not spray directly onto very hot paint.
- Wipe the surface in overlapping passes to dissolve polish oils and residues.
- Immediately over‑wipe with a separate, clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the panel and leave a residue‑free finish.
Tip: Use fresh microfiber cloths for each stage — one for cleaning and a different one for final buffing — to avoid reintroducing contaminants.
Important safety & compatibility notes
- Not recommended for use on Paint Protection Film (PPF), vinyl wraps, or soft plastics and rubber.
- Avoid use on fresh paint or smart repairs until the paint has fully cured according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Use in a well‑ventilated area and follow standard safety guidance for solvent‑based products.

Is Panel Wipe safe for ceramic coatings?
Yes — when used correctly, Panel Wipe prepares the paint so coatings can bond to the bare paint surface, improving durability. It’s the recommended final step prior to coating application.
Will it harm clear coat?
No — the product is engineered to be safe for modern clear coats when used as directed. Avoid prolonged contact with soft plastics and avoid use on uncured paint.
