ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe

The Essential Final Step Before Coatings, Sealants, or Wax

ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe is a purpose-built cleaner designed to remove polishing residue, oils, dust, and surface contaminants before the application of a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax. Its balanced formula flashes cleanly and leaves nothing behind—ensuring maximum bonding and long-term performance from your protection product.

Whether you’ve just completed a multi-stage paint correction or a quick enhancement polish, Panel Prep Wipe guarantees the surface is fully clean, dry, and ready for a flawless application.

How It Performs

Many panel wipes are too aggressive, leaving streaks, smearing, or introducing new marring during the final prep stage. ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe is engineered for professional detailers who demand predictable, streak-free results.

The product lifts and dissolves polishing oils with minimal effort, making it ideal for both large surfaces and intricate areas like door jambs, pillars, and trim. Its safe-but-strong formula works on paint, wheels, PPF, and metal surfaces—ensuring consistency across the vehicle.

The result is a perfectly clean panel, free of interference, allowing coatings and protection products to bond at their full potential.

Directions

• Make sure the surface is cool to the touch
• Spray on painted surface one section at a time
• Use a microfiber towel to lightly wipe panel; ESOTERIC Soft Towel recommended
• Use a second microfiber towel to lightly buff away remaining residue

Additional Information

Besides the chemistry, we spent months deliberating on exactly what bottles and sprayers we wanted to use. We sourced from around the world, landing on premium Italian sprayers and USA-made bottles that you see today. We could have gone with much cheaper plastics, but we wanted something that would be worthy of the ESOTERIC name.

When you finish the bottle, don’t throw it away. The quality of both the bottle and sprayer means that you can continually reuse them for a long time.
