A ready-to-use, alcohol-based degreaser and inspection spray for car paint – it removes oil, wax, and polish residues without a trace and reveals holograms and scratches that were previously masked by polishing oils.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplying a ceramic coating, wax, or polymer coating without first degreasing the paint risks drastically shortened durability – the sealant adheres to residues, not to the clear coat itself. This is where \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Panel Preparation Spray \"Pps\"\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in: a ready-to-use, alcohol-based degreaser that perfectly prepares paint surfaces after polishing. In practice, PPS is far more than a simple cleaning agent – it is also an inspection tool that shows you whether the paint is truly finished after polishing or if another correction pass is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many underestimate: Polishing oils settle into fine scratches and holograms during application, optically masking them. If you only wipe the surface with a cloth, this effect remains – and you think the paint is perfect. Only when the PPS completely removes all oil residues do you see the paint as it truly is. For professional detailers, this is an indispensable step in their workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady-to-use and without dilution:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS goes directly from the bottle onto the paint – no mixing effort, no dosing errors. The alcohol base evaporates without leaving any residue, leaving behind a perfectly grease-free, adhesion-optimized surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspection and degreasing function in one:\u003c\/strong\u003e After wiping, the surface shows its actual condition – all holograms, swirl marks, and deep scratches that were previously masked by polishing oils become visible. This prevents you from sealing a flawed surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial-compatible on paint, plastic, and metal:\u003c\/strong\u003e PPS is specially formulated for sensitive, freshly polished clear coats and contains no halogenated hydrocarbons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the IPA Degreaser Works on Paint – Alcohol, Wax Dissolution, and Residue-Free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie PPS is based on isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and butoxyethanol – a combination that effectively dissolves both light and stubborn grease residues on paint surfaces. IPA is the industry standard for paint preparation before sealants and coatings because it evaporates quickly, leaves no residue, and has a broad effect against non-polar compounds such as waxes, silicone oils, and polishing oils. The formulation, optimized for car paint, makes the difference: the ingredients are tailored for sensitive, high-gloss clear coats – precisely those surfaces where an overly aggressive degreaser could cause microscopic damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the user, this means: You can use PPS directly after polishing without damaging freshly worked clear coats with the alcohol base. The volatility of the alcohol ensures that the surface is immediately ready for the next step after wiping. For \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/koch-chemie-ceramic-allround-c0-02-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCeramic Allround C0.02 Ceramic Coating\u003c\/a\u003e, PPS is the recommended preparation step: Only on a completely grease-free surface can the ceramic polymer achieve maximum adhesion and thus the full protection duration of up to 24 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS as an Inspection Spray in the Polishing Workflow – Reliably Detecting Holograms and Scratches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe inspection function of PPS is at least as important as the degreasing function in professional paint detailing. The principle: Polishing oils have an optical filling property – they settle into fine surface defects and make them invisible under normal lighting. Only when these oils are completely removed by an IPA degreaser does the clear coat reveal its true condition. Anyone who skips this step risks applying a ceramic coating or wax over holograms and fine scratches – the defects are sealed in and remain permanently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, PPS is sprayed onto the treated area after each polishing pass and immediately wiped dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For maximum inspection quality, it is advisable to examine the area under a cold light source or detailing LED immediately after wiping – even very fine holograms can then be clearly identified. If the area still shows defects after the PPS check, another correction pass is performed; if the surface is flawless, the sealing can begin immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"rte panel\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1 Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always use a fresh, clean microfiber cloth for the PPS check – never the same one you used for polishing beforehand. Polishing oil residues in the cloth would falsify the inspection. In practice, we recommend short-pile, densely woven microfiber polishing cloths. After wiping, immediately assess the surface at a shallow angle under an LED handheld lamp – this shows holograms much sharper than normal room light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of Application and Material Compatibility – Paint, Plastic, Metal, and Rims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKoch-Chemie PPS is not limited to car paint. The material-friendly formulation allows its use on all smooth surfaces in the vehicle sector: clear coat and base coat, uncoated and coated plastic, metal (e.g., chrome, aluminum), rim surfaces, and glass surfaces are suitable areas of application. The same application rules apply to motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and motorhomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn important limitation: PPS is not a universal cleaner and not a substitute for a thorough pre-wash. It effectively removes polishing oils and light wax residues on already cleaned surfaces – but not dried tar or insect residues and brake dust. Specific cleaning products are needed for these contaminations; only then is PPS used as the final degreaser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePPS Comparison: When is hardware store IPA sufficient, when is Koch-Chemie PPS needed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePure isopropanol from the hardware store works for many applications – but is often too highly concentrated for freshly polished, sensitive clear coats. Koch-Chemie PPS is specially formulated for paint preparation: optimal concentration, maximum compatibility on clear coat, and a practical spray system for precise dosing. Anyone detailing a high-quality vehicle or degreasing after intensive machine polishing work is on the safer side with PPS. In addition, PPS offers the dual function as an inspection spray, which pure hardware store IPA does not. The 5-liter container is ideal for professionals and workshops that detail several vehicles daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Koch-Chemie Panel Preparation Spray PPS the right choice for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePPS is useful for anyone who professionally prepares paint surfaces and then applies a protective layer.
