Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Do I need to polish before using SurfacePrep Pro?
💡 Polishing isn’t required, but highly recommended. Prep spray removes oils, it does not remove scratches or oxidation.

❓ Can this be used between coating layers?
💡 No. Do not use panel prep between layers of coating; it can disrupt bonding. Only use before the first layer.

❓ Is this safe on matte or satin paint?
💡 Yes Pre Coating Surface Prep is safe for matte finishes, but always use light pressure to avoid altering the surface texture.
