About this episode
Do you really need an IPA wipe before applying a ceramic coating after polishing? In this episode, I break down a real email from a customer who asked if you can go straight from polishing to coating — or if panel prep is mandatory. We'll cover: • Where the IPA wipe "rule" came from • How different polishes leave different residues • When panel prep actually makes sense • When it's unnecessary • Why overcomplication is hurting detailers If your polish finishes clean, do you really need to strip the surface again? Let's clear up the confusion and simplify the process. USE CODE: YEAR2 at https://jimbosdetailing.com/ to save 20% OFF - Limited time.
