There's no way for me to One does not know what type of paint is on their tanks. A substantial amount of water is present in the product. * Find out more about 3M Prep Solvent by using Google A Data Sheet for the "70 Cleaner".

5/5

To give this stick a sharp look, I decided to install a metal one. My Thunderbird has a stick-on wood dash. I have no idea who made it. I was instructed to fill the space with Prep Solvent 70 to thoroughly clean out vinyl/plastic conditioner, grime, or any other substance that would adversely affect the adhesive backing of the burled wood trim that I planned have been very pleased with the results of this solvent. In my experience, it did not damage or remove the color of vinyl, metal, or plastic surfaces that I applied it to, nor did it damage or remove the color of vinyl, metal, or plastic surfaces - I found it to be easy to use. As far as I know, it only removed the conditioner, oils, grime, and crud you may not see but are still It was easy to remove the solvent residue (by using water and a paper towel) after the solvent had done its work, leaving a squeeky clean surface for the adhesive backing to stick to when applying If you intend to apply adhesive-backed products to vinyl, plastic or metal, I highly recommend that you use this solvent to clean them. The adhesive will eventually lose its hold if the surface is not properly prepared. The situation is even more critical if you are applying products to the interior of a car where temperatures can be.

You are a piece of garbage
3/5

Shipment of the bottle caused most of the contents to leak out. The typical Amazon packaging consists of a large box without any refused to accept the return of this product, despite the fact that it is NOT flammable (customer service claims that it is). The fluid cost me 50 bucks for 10 ounces. I also believe the product was not professional grade but rather consumer grade. You will not get excellent results with professional finishes when using this cleaner.

It is a great product from 3M that does what it claims to do
4/5

ThreeM products are famous for their excellent quality. However, it is not inexpensive. I used it for a pre-engineering project Painting prep here in SoCal is limited, as we can only use certain types of products. I was very pleased with the result! You will need to spend a little more for this.

3/5

Only water and a drop or two of dish soap will do! You might want to try Grow 1705 for a real surface prep solvent. The pre paint surface prep solvent is a real pre paint solvent that cleans the surface and self evaporates, leaving it ready for painting afterward.

You have some great stuff there
5/5

Those who spray their own cars will definitely want to own this. Since I started using this prep, I have done three cars. I like how easy it is to use, and it works well.

The product delivers what it promises
4/5

On my new vehicle, I had to mount body side molding and door edge guards, and this was the cleaning product recommended by the manufacturer. It does remove oil, grease, and wax from the surface. The Simple Green recipe probably would have worked just as well (in my opinion). I have a good use for a gallon more than I need, but I'll find a way to use.

4/5

The product and the value are both very good for the size that it is You won't be able to do it unless you're in an automotive body shop. In most cases, you will most likely need FAR more supplies than this to accomplish the majority of household tasks. It would have been nice if there had been a slightly smaller size available Unless otherwise stated The whole thing is awesome.

4/5

I think these are great ideas. It is very effective for removing gum, glue, and paint from all kinds of surfaces. The Amazon price is much lower than that of the local paint shops.
