Expert Notes

Chemical Guys Wipe Out Surface Cleanser Spray is a panel wipe designed to strip old wax, sealant, spent polish, oil and grease from paintwork before a fresh layer of protection goes on. Unlike a plain isopropyl alcohol wipe, it contains lubricating and anti-static agents intended to reduce the risk of new swirls while wiping, and it removes polish residue that can otherwise hide remaining imperfections from view. This 473ml bottle is safe for metal, glass, plastic, rubber and vinyl, so it can be used across most exterior trim as well as paintwork. It fits naturally at the final prep stage of a detail, right before applying wax, sealant or a ceramic coating, and works well alongside a supply of clean microfibre towels.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted panels
  • Glass
  • Plastic trim
  • Rubber seals
  • Vinyl wraps
  • Metal trim
  • Pre-coating and pre-wax preparation

Caution: Test on a small hidden area first, and use a clean microfibre towel, changing sides often to avoid dragging residue across the paint.

How To Use

  3. Wash and dry the microfibre towels used afterwards.
  4. Store the bottle upright with the cap secured.

Top Tip: Use a clean microfibre towel and turn it often, so you are not wiping polish residue back into the paint.
