Kleanstrip Prep-All is the best panel wipe I've ever used. Incredibly smooth, effortless. Cleans exceptionally well.

Interesting, I've always seen a product like Klean Strip as a pre-paint product. Do they advertise it as safe on clear coat?

Nice to see you guys being able to get your hands on Bilt Hamber products.

Back in 2009-2010 I worked for a detailing shop who used to stock Bilt Hamber products. Everything I've ever tried has been absolutely fantastic and for the money, never beaten! Just no-fuss, no-frills and non-expensive products. I also like the fact they have a huge anti-corrosion background and everything they do has some kind of anti corrosion merit to it! Especially living somewhere where they salt the roads for 3-4 months of the year.

yes the auto Pre-Pall is safe for clear coat. I wouldn't have used it if it wasn't.

Such great products. Pricey here, but their entire line is so solid. No gimmicky marketing either. They may be the only detailing brand on the planet that doesn't engage in the typical marketing others do.

Based on your experience it seems like a cost effective option that also works well. Good tip, thanks.

I think it is. I used to just use the normal IPA based panel wipes. I have Gyeon Prep on hand. After reading about Prep-All I decided to try it. I just feels so much better when wiping it off. And the paint feels extremely grabby afterwords.

I didn't let it dwell for a minute though, which I should have. Oh well. Still came out good.
