CarLab PRO Wipe-R is a ready-to-use degreaser formulated for the inspection and degreasing of painted surfaces before the application of Coating, Sealant, or wax. The product effectively removes Polish residues, oils, and surface films without leaving contamination or streaks.

The optimised solvent composition ensures rapid evaporation and a streak-free result. A microfibre cloth glides smoothly across the surface, facilitating even and controlled application.

By leaving the surface chemically clean and inert, CarLab PRO Wipe-R promotes stronger and more uniform adhesion of subsequent protective products, reducing the risk of uneven patches (known as high spots) and extending the durability of the protection.

What is CarLab PRO Wipe-R and why choose it?

CarLab PRO Wipe-R is an RTU degreaser (Ready To Use) employed as the final stage of surface preparation before Coating or wax is applied. The product is not a cleaner in the conventional sense – it is specifically formulated to eliminate the thin grease and oil films that remain after polishing and that would otherwise compromise the adhesion of protective products.

Compared with generic degreasers, CarLab PRO Wipe-R is optimised for painted surfaces: the solvent balance is calibrated to evaporate quickly and evenly, reducing the risk of high spots during subsequent Coating application. The product is used undiluted directly from the container, saving time in professional workflows.

Where is this product suitable?

• Detailing studios and reconditioning workshops prior to Ceramic Coating
• Car care businesses working with Sealant or wax that require a clean substrate
• Professional detailers inspecting paint defects under controlled lighting
• Enthusiast users preparing a vehicle's paintwork ahead of seasonal treatment
• Use on all painted body panels, including clear coat and wrap finishes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does CarLab PRO Wipe-R work as a degreaser directly after polishing with a Polish?

Yes. CarLab PRO Wipe-R is specifically formulated to remove Polish residues, oils, and surface films that remain after the polishing stage. The product is applied undiluted to a clean microfibre and worked across the surface – if stubborn residues persist, the process is repeated. The surface is then left chemically clean and ready for Coating or wax.

What size is CarLab PRO Wipe-R available in and how should it be stored?

CarLab PRO Wipe-R is available in a 5 L container, making it well suited to professional use with high consumption. The product should be stored at temperatures between 5 and 25 °C. It should not be applied to hot or wet surfaces. See also more CarLab products for professional paint care in our shop.

What sets CarLab PRO Wipe-R apart from a standard degreaser?

Unlike generic degreasers, CarLab PRO Wipe-R is optimised for painted surfaces with a solvent composition that evaporates quickly and evenly without leaving streaks. This reduces the risk of high spots during subsequent Coating application and promotes more uniform adhesion. The product is used undiluted (RTU) and requires no mixing, streamlining the workflow in professional detailing environments.
