Description

The final step in surface paint preparation—Eastwood's PRE™ Paint Prep—just spray or wipe on, and wipe off!

  • Removes silicone, wax, polish, grease and dirt
  • Helps promote paint adhesion
  • Easy spray-on, wipe-off application
  • Available in aerosol, 30-oz., or gallon
  • Available in a Low-VOC formula for regulated areas

If you're looking for a 50 State Compliant cleaner and degreaser that's available in both bottles and pre-soaked wipes, you need to check out Eastwood PRE GREEN Paint Prep that has no harsh chemicals.


Proper surface preparation is one of the most important factors in helping you achieve a high-quality final finish. Our specially formulated PRE Paint Prep helps you prepare a surface for painting by removing dirt, wax, polish, grease, silicone, buffing compound, even road tar, ensuring a clean surface that's ready for final painting or powder-coating. Auto paint prep gets no easier!

PRE Painting Prep is very easy to use: just spray it on and wipe it off. Works better than lacquer thinner, which can leave a thin residue on the surface that could interfere with paint adhesion.

A "Low-VOC" PRE Painting Prep Formula, #11949Z, is available for shipment to California.

Not for sale or use in California. Eastwood Paints are formulated to meet National Rule VOC regulations, check with your local and state guidelines as some areas may have stricter regulations than others.

Can it be welded over, is it chlorinated?

Asked by: Ricky
It is designed to clean surfaces by removing contaminants like wax, silicone, grease, and dirt, but it is not intended to be left on the surface for welding. Any residue from PRE should be thoroughly wiped off before welding to avoid potential issues with weld quality.

Can Pre be used on marine fiberglass and plastics?

Asked by: Greg
Eastwood PRE Painting Prep can be used on fiberglass, but caution is advised when using it on plastics. PRE Painting Prep contains a blend of solvents that may attack or damage certain plastics. It is recommended to test the product on a small, inconspicuous area of the plastic surface before full application to ensure compatibility.

Must it be wiped, or can it be dried with compressed air? Quite difficult to dry some things with a cloth (like water pumps, etc.)

Asked by: RALF
The Eastwood PRE Painting Prep must be wiped off after application. It is not recommended to let it air dry or use compressed air to dry it, as this could leave a residue on the surface. Wiping ensures that the contaminants, such as grease, wax, or dirt, are fully removed from the surface, which is crucial for proper paint adhesion

Is PRE Paint Prep good for 2K Urethan primer adhesion direct to bare steel? Should an etching primer be used as well?

Asked by: Kevin S
Yes, PRE is a good cleaner for any paint prep. 2K Urethane can be applied to bare steel, but it is not the most ideal choice for direct application. For better adhesion and corrosion resistance, it is recommended to use a primer first, such as an epoxy primer
