Rapid Prep Pre-Cleaner & Surface Prep – 4 oz / 32 oz

Proper surface preparation is one of the most important steps before applying vinyl graphics, wraps, paint, or other surface-applied materials. Rapid Prep is a powerful water-based pre-cleaner formulated to remove stubborn contaminants that can interfere with adhesion and finishing results.

Rapid Prep penetrates and lifts wax, grease, oil, silicone, road tar, polymer residue, nicotine, and other contaminants from the surface. It is ideal for professional sign shops, automotive restyling facilities, body shops, graphics installers, and other applications where a thoroughly cleaned substrate is essential.

Unlike many traditional petroleum-based cleaning solvents, Rapid Prep is formulated as a safer, non-flammable cleaning alternative while still providing the deep-cleaning action required for professional surface preparation.

Ideal for Surface Preparation

Rapid Prep can be used to prepare many common substrates, including:

• Automotive painted surfaces
• Boats and marine surfaces
• Bare metals
• Sign panels and sign materials
• Glass
• Surfaces being prepared for vinyl graphics
• Surfaces being prepared for painting

Removing waxes, silicones, grease, oils, and similar contamination can help reduce adhesion problems with vinyl graphics and surface defects such as fish-eyeing during paint application.

Directions for Use

Step 1: Spray Rapid Prep liberally onto the surface to be cleaned.

Step 2: Using a clean, plain white household paper towel, thoroughly wipe the surface from the center outward until dry.

Step 3: Repeat the wiping process as necessary to ensure contaminants have been removed.

Step 4 — Important: After using Rapid Prep, clean the prepared surface again with Rapid Tac or Rapid Tac II to remove any remaining Rapid Prep residue before applying vinyl graphics or other material.

For best results, always work with clean towels and avoid reintroducing contaminants onto the prepared surface.

Professional Surface Preparation

Wax, grease, oil and silicone residue are common causes of problems during vinyl graphics and paint application. Rapid Prep provides installers with an effective way to deep-clean the substrate before the final application cleaning process.

Whether preparing a vehicle for graphics, cleaning a sign panel, working on a boat, or preparing another compatible surface for paint or film, Rapid Prep helps establish the clean foundation needed for professional results.
