Surface prep from Meguiar’s
Meguiar’s® M122 Surface Prep is a new and
unique formulation that was specifically formulated
with professional detailers in mind to equip them
with a pro-grade inspection spray that delivers

M122 removes compound and polishing residue,
oils and fresh surface contaminants ultimately
allowing the detailer to fully assess the true condition
of the surface they are working with. Given
the highly competitive price point, detailers can
finally justify using M122 as an inspection spray
throughout the entire paint correction process.
Surface Prep is also the perfect choice to quickly
clean and prepare paint and ensure maximum
adhesion before applying a coating or touch-up
distributors, and facility or ancillary services like
marketing, finance, or HR.

and those from “car wash families” as well as those
