Can panel wipe remove ceramic?
Quick answer: No - panel wipe will not remove a properly cured ceramic coating. It removes oils, fillers and wax residues and may dull hydrophobics briefly, but the coating remains; full removal requires machine polishing.
Panel wipe is safe to use on a ceramic coating and will not remove it, just as it is safe to use on car paintwork and will not remove that.
Panel wipe is a solvent, but is very mild, as opposed to a 'hot' solvent like cellulose thinners or acetone.
Panel wipe can be used to remove tar splatter or tree sap, although we would recommend a product especially formulated for this to be on the safe side.
