When most people think about vehicle soundproofing, they picture the mats, foams, and barriers that stop noise. But at Noisekillers, we know that the key to a professional, long-lasting installation starts before the soundproofing goes down — with the NK Adhesive Remover & NK Panel Wipe Package.
Together, these two prep products create the clean, contaminant-free surface you need for perfect adhesion and maximum performance.
Why Surface Preparation Matters
Applying soundproofing to a dirty or greasy surface is like painting over dust — it just doesn’t stick properly.
Even the best materials won’t perform if the adhesive can’t bond securely to the panel underneath.
If the surface isn’t properly prepared, you risk:
- Poor adhesion and peeling edges
- Air gaps that reduce soundproofing effectiveness
- Shortened product lifespan
- Unwanted vibrations or rattles over time
That’s why surface preparation isn’t just a suggestion — it’s a crucial step in any professional soundproofing installation.
The NK Adhesive Remover & Panel Wipe Package
Our NK Prep Package includes two specialist cleaning products designed to work in sequence:
- NK Adhesive Remover (5 L) – Tackles stubborn glue, sealants, and old bitumen residues.
- NK Panel Wipe (500 ml) – Removes oils, dust, and invisible contaminants, leaving a residue-free surface ready for adhesion.

Step 1: NK Adhesive Remover
Before applying new materials, it’s vital to strip away any old adhesive or sticky residue. The NK Adhesive Remover breaks down and lifts away:
- Leftover glue from previous treatments
- Bitumen or tar-like substances
- Sticky deposits that prevent clean bonding
This ensures the surface is smooth, level, and ready for fresh soundproofing.
Step 2: NK Panel Wipe
Even after adhesive removal, panels can still hold fine dust, oils, or fingerprints that weaken the adhesive bond.
That’s where NK Panel Wipe finishes the job — providing a perfectly clean, residue-free surface that allows your soundproofing to stick securely for the long term.
How to Use NK Prep
-
Expose the area you’ll be soundproofing by removing trim and accessories.
-
Apply NK Adhesive Remover with a lint-free cloth, wiping away any sticky residues.
-
Let it dry, then inspect for remaining patches — repeat if needed.
-
Apply NK Panel Wipe using a fresh, clean cloth.
-
Allow to evaporate, then immediately install your soundproofing material for the best adhesion.
Tip: Wear gloves and avoid touching the panel once it’s clean — even fingerprints can affect adhesion strength.
The Payoff: Why Proper Prep Pays Off
When you take the time to prepare your surface properly with the NK Prep Package, you’ll enjoy:
- A stronger and longer-lasting adhesive bond
- Improved noise reduction performance
- A cleaner, more professional finish
- Less risk of peeling, bubbling, or rattling
It’s a small step that makes a huge difference.
