ALCOHOL PAINT PREP SPRAY FOR REMOVING OILS, RESIDUE & WAXES
What is Alcohol Prep Spray?
In the detailing world, alcohol prep spray is formulated for prepping a vehicle before waxes or coatings. It works to properly bond products like sealants to the body of your vehicle to ensure protection, longevity, and durability. Alcohol prep spray also aids in the removal of residues such as oils, waxes, or fillers. This product is versatile because it can be used on plastic, paint, or glass.
What Ingredients are in Alcohol Prep Sprays?
Alcohol prep sprays contain little ingredients and are typically very straightforward. Although brand may vary with ingredients, common chemicals found in these products are
- Isopropyl alcohol, or IPA, is the main active ingredient. It takes up about 10% to 15% of the mixture and it is very effective at dissolving nonpolar compounds. IPA leaves behind no oil traces and evaporates quickly, which is why it is so popular in the car care world.
- Distilled water makes up the rest of the 85% to 90% of the solution. It works to dilute the high concentration of the IPA so that it is at a safe, yet effective level. The reason distilled water is used over tap water is to ensure that there will be no types of residue left behind that may ruin the detailing process.
- Surfactants can sometimes be added to alcohol prep sprays to help with the overall cleaning and application process itself.
