When it comes to automotive refinishing, Sontara® Surface Preparation System has a definite performance edge at every stage of the refinishing process.

The DuPont™ Sontara® Surface Preparation System is a family of technologically advanced wiping solutions that act as the basis for a perfect finish. Our products are engineered for the specific demands of the automotive refinishing industry, with the right product created for each stage of the refinishing process.

Because Sontara® products are strong, low-linting and work well with a variety of cleaners, you get the job done right, the first time, leading to greater productivity and lower cost. Sontara® Surface Preparation System wipes are clean, manufactured without glues or binders. The low particulate content and lack of binding additives helps to enhance the quality of your work.
