PREMA PRE-PPC-16 Buffing Solution, Flammable Aerosol Tire Repair Cleaner

Q: How does this compare to liquid pre-buff cleaners? A: The PPC-16 aerosol offers faster drying times compared to liquid versions, typically 2-3 minutes versus 5-8 minutes for liquids. The controlled aerosol spray reduces waste and provides more even coverage across the tire surface. Both formulations effectively remove silicone, mold lubricants, and contaminants, but the aerosol format is preferred in high-volume tire shops for its efficiency.

Q: How long should I wait after cleaning before buffing? A: Wait 2-3 minutes after applying PPC-16 for complete evaporation. The surface should appear completely dry with no visible residue before beginning buffing operations. In humid conditions, allow an extra minute for thorough drying. Starting the buffing process too early can reduce patch adhesion effectiveness and compromise repair quality.
