Gloss-Off Prepaint Surface Preparation is a no rinse formula that's specially designed to prepare high gloss and other hard-to-stick-to surfaces for repainting or refinishing. Specially formulated to help new paint and varnish bond to old finishes, or as a wall preparation prior to wallpapering. It removes dirt, grease, grime, smoke, mildew, food stains, heel marks, crayon, old wallpaper paste, and wax from painted or unpainted wood, metal, or vinyl wallpaper.
