{"product_id":"bonnychem-ipa-isopropyl-alcohol-5l","title":"Bonnychem IPA Isopropyl Alcohol 5L","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ceramic coating or sealant only bonds to what it can reach. Polish oils, old wax and fingerprints sit between the product and the paint, and they are the reason a coating that should last fails early. Bonnychem IPA is isopropyl alcohol for panel wipe and surface prep, in a 5L drum for anyone who goes through the stuff properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsopropyl alcohol dissolves the oils that machine polishes leave behind, so you can see the true finish before you protect it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlashes off quickly without leaving a residue of its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes old wax and sealant off a panel before a fresh layer goes on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandy beyond paint: sticker residue, glass prep, degreasing a surface before tape or trim adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5L refills a 500ml trigger bottle ten times over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter machine polishing and before any coating, sealant or wax goes on. Wipe each panel down, check the finish under a light, then protect.

Wash and decontaminate the car first; IPA on a gritty panel just moves the grit around.

Many detailers mix IPA with distilled water for a gentler wipe on fresh or soft paint, so test on a small area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs IPA safe on plastic trim and rubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA quick wipe is generally fine on hard trim, but repeated use can dry out unprotected plastics and rubber.
