❓ Can I use this on ceramic-coated surfaces?
💡 Yes, but be aware it may reduce some hydrophobic effects if used excessively. Only use it in the repair area.

💡 It’s a better alternative. It removes more contaminants and is specifically formulated for paint prep without drying or damaging the surface.
