Jason Rose, global trainer for Rupes USA, recently conducted a training at Buddco in Salt Lake City -- where they host trainings that truly elevate our industry and make Utah a magnet for quality detailers who are passionate about the craft.
If you want your coating -- or your wax or sealant, for that matter -- to last, it's CRITICAL to use some kind of "prep" spray...the idea here is to remove wax, grease, polish residue...anything that might contend with the coating, which is designed to bond with the clear coat.
Isopropyl alcohol is cheap and easy, but there are a number of popular products that detailers and enthusiasts swear by. The question is, which one is best? And what should we all know about proper application? I'm going to list some of my favorite paint preps below, which are also fantastic window cleaners...especially if you struggle with interior windshields.
