From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H319 serious eye irritation (Cat-2A) confirmed at the mixture level in SDS Section 2; spray application at close range is the realistic exposure pathway.”
— Gtechniq
U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1)
“The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from… liquid chemicals…”

From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H336 drowsiness/dizziness code is present at the mixture level. The ethanol-dominant formula at approximately 80% concentration generates significant vapor in enclosed spaces; the situational tier reflects real inhalation exposure during multi-panel sessions in a garage with limited airflow.”

TL;DR Strips polish residue and surface oils from corrected paint reliably before coating; community reviewers doing Gtechniq ceramic coating prep cite clean bonding outcomes. WARNING-rated chemistry with H319 eye irritation at the mixture level; goggles are appropriate during spray application.
Gtechniq Panel Wipe is a ready-to-use pre-coating prep solution with an ethanol-dominant carrier, no fragrance, and no colorants. Spray it onto a clean microfiber towel, wipe across each corrected panel, and let it flash before coating application. Community reviewers report 20-30 second flash-off and no bonding failures when applying Gtechniq ceramic coatings directly after. Some owners report the spray trigger can leak.
Best for detailers applying a ceramic or spray coating after paint correction, especially those in the Gtechniq ecosystem who want a formula matched to their coating chemistry. Skip it for wax prep without correction: a spray detailer handles that step at lower cost and without the significant VOC load from the high ethanol concentration.
WARNING-rated chemistry. SDS Section 2 classifies the mixture with H319 serious eye irritation and H336 drowsiness/dizziness from vapor; goggles are appropriate during spray application given the H319 classification. H315 skin irritation is not classified at the mixture level, so the skin tier is situational rather than recommended. The H336 code reflects vapor accumulation in enclosed spaces at these alcohol concentrations; the lungs tier is situational for garage work with limited airflow. The formula evaporates rather than going to drain, but the ethanol at approximately 80% of the mixture contributes an estimated 630 g/L VOC; SDS Section 12 describes biodegradability as not established.
The Safety Data Sheet for Gtechniq Panel Wipe carries a WARNING signal word, with classified hazards including H226 (flammable liquid and vapour); H319 (causes serious eye irritation); H336 (may cause drowsiness or dizziness). See the PPE breakdown above for use-case-specific guidance translated from the SDS hazard codes.
CarCareTruth scores Gtechniq Panel Wipe at 6.8 out of 10 on the composite CCT score, with a health sub-score of 5.7/10. The CCT score blends real-world effectiveness, ingredient health impact pulled from the manufacturer's safety sheet, and environmental footprint against a published category rubric. See the methodology link on this page for the full scoring breakdown.
Per the Safety Data Sheet ingredient disclosure: Per SDS Section 3 (AU REACH version, 2020-12-16): Ethanol (64-17-5) 70-90%, 1-Methoxy-2-Propanol / PGME (107-98-2) 10-30%, Ethyl Acetate (141-78-6) 1-10%
