Adam's Polishes Surface Prep (16oz)

Surface Prep from Adam's Polishes is formulated to leave automotive surfaces raw and residue-free so protective products adhere as intended. With a lubricating, high-IPA blend it lifts polish oils, cleaning residues, and contaminants while reducing towel drag—making final prep quicker and safer before applying coatings, sealants, or waxes.

How does this spray make coating or wax adhesion better?

By dissolving and removing microscopic oils, polish residue, and cleaning agents, Surface Prep exposes the bare topcoat so protection products can form a direct bond. Its high-isopropyl concentration evaporates quickly, reducing the chance of streaks or trapped solvents under the coating.

• Removes residue left by compounds, polishes, and cleaners
• Creates a clean bondable surface for coatings and sealants
• Fast evaporation minimizes surface dwell time

When should I use Adam’s Surface Prep in my detailing process?

Use it as the final wipe-down after claying, polishing, or machine polishing and before any protective application. It’s also useful between steps—after orbital polishing or before ceramic coating—to ensure each layer bonds to a contamination-free surface.

• Final wipe after clay bar or decon treatment
• Post-polish cleanup prior to coating or sealant
• Safe for quick glass touch-ups and trim prep

Is this formula safe on all exterior surfaces of my vehicle?

Yes—Adam’s Surface Prep is formulated for use on painted surfaces, plastics, chrome, and glass. The lubricating action helps prevent marring when wiping, and the rinse-free application keeps panels protected from water spots or streaking.

• Safe on clear coats, metal trim, and automotive glass
• Lubrication reduces risk of towel-induced scratches
• Fast-drying for quick, efficient detail sessions

How do I apply it for best results?

Spray Surface Prep directly onto the panel or onto a clean microfiber towel, then wipe in overlapping passes until the surface shows no residue. Use a fresh towel for final buffing and allow the area to air briefly before applying your coating or wax for optimal adhesion.

• Spray panel or towel, wipe with a clean microfiber
• Use multiple towels to avoid cross-contamination
• Allow brief evaporation before applying sealants or coatings

Who this product is for: Detailers, ceramic coating applicators, and car enthusiasts who expect professional-level bonding between their vehicles’ surfaces and protective products. Adam’s Surface Prep benefits anyone preparing paint, glass, or trim for coatings, minimizing rework and improving durability when used as directed.
