KECO 16oz PDR Glue Cleaning & Release Solution (Refill)
Product Description
KECO's 16-ounce PDR Glue Cleaning and Release Solution (SKU: 410-C2199-16) is a dual-purpose technical fluid engineered to fulfill two critical stages of the Glue Pull Repair (GPR) workflow. Formulated with 99% pure isopropyl alcohol, this high-concentration solution works first as a deep surface decontaminant to prepare panels for maximum glue adhesion, and later as a targeted release agent that breaks the bond of hardened hot melt glue without marring the underlying clear coat.
In high-volume collision repair facilities and Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) environments, executing a clean pull relies completely on proper chemical preparation and crisp release cycles. This concentrated formula ensures that road grime, wax, and detailing sealants are thoroughly stripped prior to tab placement. When the pull is completed, a quick spray allows the technician to effortlessly peel the hardened glue residue cleanly away from both the vehicle panel and the pulling tab. This minimizes the risk of chipping the paint and keeps shop workflows moving quickly.
Key Features
-
99% Pure Isopropyl Alcohol Formulation: High-percentage chemical composition strips away stubborn panel contaminants to ensure an ultra-clean substrate for high-strength glue bonding.
-
Instant Chemical Glue Release: Specially concentrated to seep underneath pulling tabs, dissolving the active surface grip of hot melt glues so they peel off in a single pliable piece.
-
Residue-Free Evaporation: Flashes off rapidly without leaving a slippery chemical film behind, leaving panels clean and ready for immediate re-prepping or successive pulls.
-
Spray Nozzle Trigger Included: Ships complete with an adjustable trigger spray head to provide uniform surface coverage and prevent over-saturation.
-
16 Fluid Ounce Capacity: Sized perfectly to act as a direct spray bottle on your GPR cart or serve as an efficient refill unit for smaller detail bottles.
Integration into the KECO 6C Process
This cleaning and release solution serves as the chemical baseline for The 6 C's of professional Glue Pull Repair:
-
Clean: The solution is sprayed on the panel to lift contaminants, and then paired with a heat source to eliminate moisture prior to gluing.
-
Check: Technicians evaluate the dent structure under structured PDR lighting.
-
Choose: The appropriate tab geometry (such as Dead Center or Centipede tabs) is selected.
-
Coat: Hot melt collision glue is applied to the tab face and seated on the panel.
-
Correct: Mechanical lifters, K-Beams, or slide hammers engage the tab to pull the metal.
-
Continue / Clean: The release solution is sprayed to detach the tab and glue, letting the tech inspect and continue blending.
Ideal For
-
Collision Repair Facilities: Stripping heavy shop dust, protective coatings, and environmental grime from damaged panels to ensure reliable tabs pulls on tough structural crowns.
-
PDR Specialists: Managing ultra-clean glue releases during paint-safe dent removal to ensure zero clouding or marking on soft factory clear coats.
-
Tab & Tool Maintenance: Cleaning residual, dirt-caked glue out of the faces of pulling tabs to restore crisp detail texture for future repairs.
Common Questions
Why shouldn't I just use standard 70% rubbing alcohol from a local pharmacy? Standard retail rubbing alcohol contains up to 30% water and oils. This high water content leaves behind micro-moisture barriers on the panel, which severely weakens the chemical cross-linking of hot melt collision glues, leading to premature tab releases and failed pulls. The 99% pure formula maximizes bond strength.
Does this solution require an alcoholic neutralizer after use? No. Because it contains 99% pure isopropyl alcohol, it flashes off completely clean and dry within seconds of exposure to the air, leaving no oily or slick chemical films behind that would interfere with subsequent paint prep or re-tabbing.
Are there shipping restrictions on this product for Canadian shops? Yes, because of its 99% pure alcohol classification, this item is a hazardous flammable liquid that cannot be shipped via commercial air freight or overnight express. To bypass cross-border hazardous material shipping delays, Canadian collision centers typically procure their bulk GPR consumables directly through domestic distribution partners like Titanium Tools & Equipment for rapid ground delivery.
