CCI Pre-Coating Surface Prep is a high-performance panel preparation spray designed to remove polishing oils, fillers, fingerprints, and residue before applying ceramic coatings. Whether you're a professional detailer or a DIY installer, this fast-flashing formula ensures a truly clean, bare surface for maximum coating bond and longevity.
Key Features & Benefits
🔹 Removes Oils & Residue Instantly – Breaks down polishing lubricants, waxes, and silicones so coatings adhere properly.
🔹 Fast Flashing & Streak-Free – Flashes quickly and leaves no haze, making surface inspection easier and more accurate.
🔹 Maximizes Coating Durability – A perfectly prepped surface ensures better bonding and extends the lifespan of any ceramic coating.
🔹 Safe on All Exterior Surfaces – Formulated for paint, glass, plastics, and wheels; ideal before applying coatings, sealants, or PPF.
How to Use
Step 1: Complete all washing, decontamination, and polishing steps before using SurfacePrep Pro.
Step 2: Spray the product directly onto the panel or onto a clean microfiber towel.
Step 3: Wipe the surface evenly to break down oils and residue.
Step 4: Flip to a dry microfiber towel and buff until the panel is streak-free.
Step 5: Repeat as needed until the entire vehicle is fully decontaminated and ready for coating.
Pro Tip:
Work one panel at a time and always use fresh microfiber towels—old or saturated towels can reintroduce oils and affect coating bonding.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do I need to polish before using SurfacePrep Pro?
💡 Polishing isn’t required, but highly recommended. Prep spray removes oils—it does not remove scratches or oxidation.
❓ Can this be used between coating layers?
💡 No. Do not use panel prep between layers of coating; it can disrupt bonding. Only use before the first layer.
❓ Is this safe on matte or satin paint?
💡 Yes—SurfacePrep Pro is safe for matte finishes, but always use light pressure to avoid altering the surface texture.
