FAQs
What types of contaminants does Autotek Panel Prep remove?
It effectively removes grease, oil, waxes, silicones, tar stains, grime, and other conventional automotive oils and greases.
Can I use this product indoors?
No, it must only be used outdoors or in a well-ventilated area due to its powerful solvent composition.
What is the ideal temperature for using this spray?
The product should be used at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C for optimal performance and drying.
How long should I let the product sit on the surface?
Allow the spray to work on the surface for 30-60 seconds before wiping.
What is the best way to apply the spray?
Shake the can well, then spray from a distance of 15-25cm away from the surface to be treated. Ensure even coverage.
How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?
After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
Is this product safe for all plastic types?
Autotek Panel Prep is designed for most automotive plastics. However, it's always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is blocked or spray is uneven.
Ensure you have shaken the can well before use. After each application, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle. If persistent, try a new can.
Product is not drying quickly.
Check the ambient temperature; if it is below the recommended 15°C, drying time will be extended. Ensure the surface was not oversaturated.
Residue left on the surface.
Ensure a clean, soft cloth is used for wiping. If residue persists, the surface may have had excessive contaminants that require a second application, or the cloth may be dirty.
Weak paint adhesion after use.
Verify that all contaminants were fully removed and the surface was completely dry before paint application. Ensure the product was allowed to work for the recommended time (30-60 seconds) and wiped thoroughly.
