The Essential Final Step Before Coatings, Sealants, or Wax ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe is a purpose-built cleaner designed to remove polishing residue, oils, dust, and surface contamination before applying a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax. It flashes cleanly and leaves nothing behind so your protection product can bond properly. Whether you just completed a multi-stage paint correction or a quick enhancement polish, Panel Prep Wipe helps ensure the surface is fully clean, dry, and ready for a smooth, consistent application. Why It Works Many panel wipes are either too aggressive or too oily, which can lead to streaking, smearing, or inconsistent bonding. ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe is engineered for predictable, streak-free results and efficient removal of polishing oils with minimal effort. Key Benefits Removes polishing oils and residue to improve coating, sealant, or wax bonding Flashes cleanly for a streak-free, ready-to-protect surface Works well on large panels and tight areas like door jambs, pillars, and trim Consistent results when used with clean, quality microfiber towels Surface Compatibility Paint and clear coat PPF and vinyl (test on an inconspicuous area first) Wheels and metal surfaces How to Use Work on a clean surface that is cool to the touch and out of direct sunlight. Spray onto the panel one section at a time. Lightly wipe with a clean microfiber towel to lift residue. Follow with a second clean microfiber towel to lightly buff and confirm a clean, streak-free finish. What This Product Is and Is Not Is: a final-prep wipe to remove oils and residue before protection. Is not: a substitute for proper washing, decontamination, or polishing. Is not: meant to be over-applied. Use only what is needed for the section. Important Use Notes Use clean towels only. Saturated or dirty towels can re-deposit oils and cause streaking. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface. Work in manageable sections. If you see smearing, switch to a fresh towel and reduce product usage on the next section. Safety and Storage Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Use in a well-ventilated area. Store sealed and away from heat.
