Silicone Remover:
Use to prepare paint for polishing, compounding, wax and / or polymer sealant application (especially if changing from a wax to a polymer product) Prep Wash is a water-based paint cleaner designed to remove all traces of silicone, oil, and buffing residue from any exterior surface, residue from these formulas accumulate in crevices, around handles, wiper arms, on trim, luggage racks, and aerodynamics. Hi-Temp's Prep Wash flows into these hard-to-reach areas and dissolves the build-up.

Body Shops use Prep Wash to cleanse the finish before painting, and you can use it after buffing or levelling applications. It prepares the surface for the proper bonding of waxes, glazes and paint sealants. If this is not done properly, waxes may not bond, which will cause heavy streaking.

Prep Wash may be diluted, but is always used sparingly at any strength. Mist a cloth or sponge and wipe over the surface. Wipe dry with a clean towel - http://www.topoftheline.com.
