Protection Preparation

Protection preparation products are specifically designed to degrease paint and other surfaces with an isopropyl alcohol-based degreaser or primers before applying a protective product. This can range from a simple vinyl, plastic & plastic dressing to a year-long ceramic coating.

As it is with many different aspects in life, good preparation is often more important than the work itself. This is just the same with detailing. The results and durability of your dressing or your coating will always be only as good as your preparation was. A good degreaser will remove all oils, greases and dirt before you start protecting. These are almost always isopropyl alcohol based. Although some like to make their own mixture based on isopropyl alcohol and demineralized water, it is not of the same quality as the degreasers that you will find here. In fact, there are many other ingredients in these degreasers that provide much better degreasing than just isopropyl alcohol and water! Especially when applying a coating for years, it is a small effort to spend a few euros more and do it perfectly from the first time by using the appropriate degreaser and a clean microfiber towel.

The protection preparation category also includes primers. These primers act as a foundation for when you are going to apply a coating. Although not many brands have primers, you will find them here when they are offered.

Because protection preparation products often contain isopropyl alcohol, we always recommend wearing gloves.
