3D Wipe 473 ml from 3D Car Care removes polishing residue and other contaminants from the paintwork immediately before applying Ceramic Coating. The high lubricity allows the cloth to glide smoothly over the surface without scratching sensitive clear coat.

The product is water-based and purified via reverse osmosis, combined with a surfactant blend that dissolves oils without attacking the paint. The result is a clean surface where the coating adheres evenly and lasts longer.

The Surface Prep Spray also works on glass, plastic, rubber and metal, making it useful across several stages of a detailing job. See more Ceramic Coating products in our range for the next step in the process.

When does the Surface Prep Spray make the most sense?

The Surface Prep Spray comes into its own immediately after polishing, when the paintwork needs to be fully cleaned before applying a Ceramic Coating or Sealant. It removes oily residue from compound and polish that could otherwise prevent the coating from bonding properly. It also delivers a reliable, scratch-free result during panel wipe before a paint protection treatment.

Applications for the Surface Prep Spray

• Detailing workshops preparing for Ceramic Coating treatment
• Preparing painted surfaces immediately after polishing
• Cleaning glass, plastic, rubber and metal before coating application
• Degreasing before applying Sealant or wax

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the 3D Car Care Surface Prep Spray work on matte paint or vinyl wrap?

No, the product is primarily designed for glossy painted surfaces, glass, plastic, rubber and metal ahead of Ceramic Coating. For matte paint or vinyl wraps, we recommend products specifically designed for these materials, as the lubricity level and surfactants in the Surface Prep Spray are optimised for glossy clear coats.

How should the 3D Car Care Surface Prep Spray be stored and handled safely?

The Surface Prep Spray should be stored in a cool, dry place in its original packaging, out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and rinse immediately with water if splashed. The product should not be mixed with other chemicals and is formulated to be skin-friendly during normal detailing use.

What sets the 3D Car Care Surface Prep Spray apart from standard isopropyl alcohol spray (IPA)?

The difference lies in the lubricity and formulation. Pure isopropyl alcohol can dry out the surface and increase the risk of micro-scratches during wipe-down, whereas the 3D Car Care Surface Prep Spray is formulated with a surfactant blend and high lubricity that protects the clear coat while removing polishing residue just as effectively. It is also water-based with reverse-osmosis-purified water, making it gentler on both the paintwork and the environment.
