Labocosmetica VERITAS | IPA-Alternative Coating Prep & Panel Wipe | Removes Polish Oils
Labocosmetica VÈRITAS — Coating Prep & Panel Wipe (IPA Alternative)
Vèritas is your panel wipe and swirl-highlighter in one — the last step before any coating goes on. It strips the oils, fillers and surfactant residues left behind by polishes and shampoos, so a coating bonds to bare clearcoat instead of to a film that'll fail early. Wiped down, it also reveals the true state of the paint under good light, showing swirls and holograms a polishing oil would otherwise mask.
It's a true IPA alternative with a useful extra trick: a "coating health check." Wipe a still-wet panel after washing and you can tell genuine coating wear from surface residue — so you know whether a car actually needs re-coating or just a proper decon. Dilution flexes from pure (stripping old coatings and wax) down to a light post-polish wipe.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Honest prep. Removes polish oils, fillers and shampoo surfactants so coatings bond to clean paint and last.
- Swirl highlighter. Reveals the real finish under light — no fillers hiding defects before you coat.
- Coating health check. Distinguishes true coating wear from residue, so you re-coat only when needed.
- Flexible strength. Pure to strip old protection; 1:1 for spot-checks; 1:3–1:5 for general wipe-downs.
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before use. Use pure for deep decontamination (removing old coatings, waxes and sealants, or correcting application issues), 1:1 for spot-checking polishing results, or 1:3 to 1:5 for general post-polish wipe-downs. For pure application, spray onto a short-pile microfibre and wipe with light, linear motions; for diluted, spray onto the surface from about 60 cm and spread without pressure. Buff with the dry side of the cloth for a residue-free finish, and inspect under good lighting.
DILUTION
- Pure — removes old coatings, waxes and sealants
- 1:1 — spot-checking polishing results
- 1:3 to 1:5 — general post-polish wipe-downs
