I saw this at Wal Mart, and picked it up. Is this an equivalent to Prep-Sol? I haven't tried it yet...

That's the same idea. Funny how they don't seem to have to list the chemicals in stuff anymore.

People often ask on this site where they can buy Prep-sol. If this stuff is the same, you can get it at Wal Mart where they keep the little bit of paint and body stuff that they carry.

Interesting find... I'll keep it in mind. The IPA/H20 mixture would still be the cheaper solution wouldn't it?

Good find on the Prep-All. I was thinking of helping a buddy with some rock chips on his car and was going to go pick up some 3M GP Adhesive Remover (naptha) to prep the spots.

yes its the same thing..does the same job...I have used the dupont...Hi temp and 3m versions and this one and they worked the same ....and it works much better than the Alc/H20 mix at cleaning polish oils of the paint...
wear gloves using this and any prep sol product...it will dry your hands out real bad..they turn white...
your set now....
this works on taking of wax stains on plastic trim also...just use a fingernail brush to scrub them...then treat them right after...

You would use this after you polish the car to get rid of the oil? Instead of the Alcohol/water mix? | |
