What is Panel Wipe and why choose it?
GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe is a specialised solvent-based degreaser intended for use as the final step in surface preparation before a Coating or Sealant is applied. Unlike general-purpose APC products, Panel Wipe is formulated to leave absolutely no residue whatsoever — no grease, oil, or surfactants — which is essential for a ceramic Coating to bond correctly to the paint.
The product also helps to reveal any scratches and defects in the paint after polishing, making it an indispensable tool for paint inspection in professional settings.
Where is this product suitable?
- Detailing studios and reconditioning workshops prior to Coating application
- Car care businesses carrying out paint inspection after polishing
- Hobby users preparing paintwork before wax or Sealant
- Indoor use in well-ventilated premises (e.g. spray booths and detailing bays)
- All vehicle types with painted surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe work on all types of car paint prior to Coating application?
Yes, GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe is suitable for use on all paint types, including clear coat, solid colour, and metallic paint. The product effectively removes residues from Polish, wax, and other contaminants, helping to create a clean, residue-free surface that is necessary for a Coating to bond correctly. Always use a clean microfibre cloth when applying for best results.
What volume does GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe come in and how is it used?
GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe is supplied in a 250 ml spray bottle. Spray the product directly onto the paint surface and spread evenly with a clean microfibre cloth. Repeat as necessary until the surface is completely free of residue. The product is formulated as a solvent- and alcohol-based degreaser and evaporates rapidly without leaving any residue.
What sets GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe apart from other degreasers for paint inspection?
GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe is specifically formulated with a blend of pure solvents and alcohol, meaning it contains no surfactants or other substances that could interfere with the adhesion of a Coating or Sealant. Many general degreasers and APC products leave trace amounts behind that can compromise results during Coating application. GTECHNIQ Panel Wipe is developed for professional use where a completely residue-free surface is a requirement, not merely a preference.
