Starke Surface Prep Alcohol Spray
Pre-Coating Surface Prep for Marine Gel Coat, Paint & Glass
Starke Surface Prep is an alcohol-based cleaner with mild conditioners formulated to strip polishing oils, lubricants, and residues from surfaces before ceramic coating application. A clean, oil-free surface is critical for proper coating adhesion — Surface Prep ensures your substrate is ready.
When to Use It
