Starke Surface Prep Alcohol Spray is an alcohol-based panel wipe with mild conditioners that strips polishing oils and lubricants before ceramic coating—also doubles as a glass cleaner on gelcoat, paint, metal, plastic, and glass.

Final prep step after polish/compound and before Starke Triple P or ceramic install. Clears residue that kills coating bond so the panel is clean and dry for application.

How to use

1. Finish compounding/polishing; wipe bulk residue with a clean towel
2. Spray Surface Prep onto a microfiber or panel; wipe until the surface feels squeaky-clean

Note: Work cool, shaded panels. Do not coat over oily polish residue. Keep off sensitive plastics if the label warns, and use dedicated towels for glass vs. paint.
