FAQs — Detailing & Prep
What kinds of detailing and prep products are available on this page?
This category includes products designed to clean, prepare, and condition a vehicle before detailing work. You’ll typically find surface prep sprays, pre-wash solutions, decontamination products, and cleaners that remove wax, oils, and residue to ensure a smooth detailing process.
What should I use to prep my vehicle before applying a ceramic coating or sealant?
For coating or sealant prep, use a surface preparation spray or cleaner that removes oils, polishing residue, and contaminants. These products ensure the surface is properly cleaned so coatings bond effectively and last longer.
Are there products here that help with pre-washing or removing old wax/contaminants?
Yes. The Detailing & Prep section usually includes pre-wash solutions and surface cleaners that help break down grime, film, and old wax layers. These make the actual wash more effective and help reveal a cleaner surface for detailing.
Can detailing and prep products also improve washing results?
Definitely. Prep products such as pre-soaks, decontamination sprays, and surface cleaners help loosen stubborn dirt before the main wash. This reduces the risk of swirl marks and allows soaps and shampoos to work more efficiently.
How do I know which detailing-prep product I need first?
It depends on your goal:
- To remove old wax or coatings → use a prep wash or surface cleaner.
- To loosen heavy dirt or film → start with a pre-soak or pre-wash.
- To prepare for coatings or sealants → use a final surface prep spray.
