The right prep product for Profi

[Tony C]

I am exploring putting the Profi ceramic coating on my black 2010 Toyota Avalon. I understand that prep is critical and I want to understand if I can use my existing product of Paintwork Polish Enhancer instead of Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep. They seem like they are the same, but I need advice before I spend the money on the ceramic coating. Thank you.

Never used that product but pick up a panel wipe such as CarPro Eraser, Optimum Panel Prep and you will be good after the polishing step.

•Paintwork Polish Enhancer, among other
not-friendly-to-Coatings attributes, contains
‘fillers’; which makes it OK to use before
applying Waxes/Sealants—not Coatings.

•With that in mind:
-I’ll bet a Dollar to a donut-hole that
they are not the same formulation.

•As such:
-I’d go with Wolfgang’s recommendation.

TO WIT:

”Prepare the surface for coating with
Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep…”

I would polish the paint surface first and then use the Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep to prep the panel before applying the PROFI Coating.

Wow. Thank you. As I reread the Polish Enhancer, you are correct. Thank you very much.

The fillers...I think you are right. Thank you.
