kent automotive ACRYSOL Body Solvent 1 qt — Fast-Drying Automotive Surface Cleaner for Wax, Grease & Adhesive Removal

Kent ACRYSOL Body Solvent is a professional, fast-acting automotive surface cleaner that removes wax, grease, adhesives and contaminants to ready metal and painted panels for refinishing.

Kent ACRYSOL is a high-performance body solvent formulated for automotive paint shops, collision repair and DIY refinishing. Packaged in a convenient 1-quart bottle, the formula evaporates quickly while dissolving residues that interfere with paint adhesion and finish quality. It’s designed to streamline prep work so primers and topcoats adhere evenly and produce smoother, more consistent results.

How does ACRYSOL speed up paint preparation?

ACRYSOL’s volatile blend breaks down and lifts common contaminants faster than water-based cleaners, letting technicians move from cleaning to priming without long wait times. Its fast evaporation reduces flash time and minimizes streaking, so panels are ready for primer or basecoat sooner.

• Quick-dry formulation that evaporates cleanly
• Penetrates wax, grease and adhesives for efficient removal
• Reduces rework by leaving a residue-free surface

What surfaces and residues can it handle?

ACRYSOL is intended for use on bare metal, previously painted surfaces, and primer where removing oils, waxes, adhesive and other contaminants is necessary. It’s suitable for prepping panels prior to sanding, masking, priming or painting, but should be used in well-ventilated areas and tested on small spots if substrate compatibility is uncertain.

• Removes road film, silicone, polish residue and bodyshop greases
• Effective on adhesives and sticker residue left from labels and trim
• Works on steel, aluminum and OEM-refinished panels when used per guidelines

How should I apply Kent ACRYSOL for best results?

Apply ACRYSOL with a clean, lint-free cloth or shop towel and wipe the surface until contaminants are gone; follow with a dry towel if needed to remove dissolved residue. For heavy deposits, allow a short dwell then agitate with a cloth; always follow safety guidance and avoid prolonged exposure to paints and plastics.

• Use on cool surfaces away from open flame or ignition sources
• Wipe in overlapping passes, replacing towels as they become saturated
• Test on hidden area when concerned about delicate finishes

Will ACRYSOL affect subsequent paint adhesion or finish?

When used correctly, ACRYSOL removes contaminants that otherwise inhibit adhesion, helping primers and topcoats bond and cure uniformly. It leaves a clean, quick-drying surface that reduces the risk of fish-eyes, lift-off, or surface defects commonly caused by residual waxes and oils.

• Promotes consistent primer and paint adhesion by eliminating residues
• Minimizes chances of finish imperfections caused by surface contaminants
• Not a substitute for etching or specialty primers on bare metal where required

Who is this for? Kent ACRYSOL is aimed at bodyshop professionals, collision repair technicians and serious automotive DIYers who require a dependable solvent to prepare panels before painting. It’s ideal where speed, reliability and a residue-free surface are important for achieving professional paint results. Always follow label directions, use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation when handling solvent products.
