Krud Kutter GO326 Gloss Off Prepaint Surface Preparation Cleaner, 32 oz

This product works. It really strips off dirt and gloss on multiple surfaces reducing or eliminating the need to sand. I am very happy I discovered it :)

This worked great! It was easy to apply and the paint went on and has been scratch resistant. I will definitely buy more as I am working on my house projects.

I have old kitchen cabinets that were painted with an oil based paint, semi-gloss. I wanted to paint over them with a latex paint (satin). So I was told that I need to sand the cabinets before priming them with a bonding primer. I was trying to avoid the time consuming sanding process and hoping if a I used a deglosser or really good bonding primer, it would stick. Then I could apply my top coats.So I bought the Behr bonding primer, which is pretty expensive. First I tried a small section with just bonding primer and no prep work. It says that you can prime over glossy surfaces with no sanding. The bonding primer did not stick at all. I then sanded a section with 220 grit sand paper and the bonding primer stuck well.I then tried the gloss off with no sanding. I applied with a rag and let it dry. The bonding primer stuck a little better than no sanding but not great. You could scratch off some areas pretty easy.I then tried using the gloss off on another section and this time I applied with a scotch brite scrubbing pad. So I was scrubbing as I applied the gloss off. I then applied the bonding primer and it stuck just like it did when I sanded! So the product worked for me if I used a scrubbing pad to apply it and using a high quality bonding primer. I think if if you used this product alone and used a scrubbing pad but just used a general purpose primer, it may not work but I have not tried that.

This product is incredible. I use it all the time to clean furniture before painting. It cleans all the grime and oil off.

I’m painting a piece of finished furniture but sanding is messy, time consuming and almost impossible to get into those little details. I use this to insure my water based paint adheres well, and it works! Even if you want to do some light sanding on places that get a lot of use, use this afterward as insurance. And there’s very little odor so you can use indoors. Great stuff!

Was hoping this would help eliminate the sanding but did not. Did not remove the shine as expected from the gloss paint I used it on. Good cleaner and surface prep, but you will still need to sand most likely

This product is great for knocking down the shine and then use a quality primer and durable paint. That’s the key.

We had old 80's style veneer paneling in our basement family room bathroom. I wanted to paint the paneling to brighten the area and make it look bigger. I knew I had to attempt to degloss by sanding but I chose to attempt it by applying this product. It is clear and doesn't have an odor. I applied it with a cloth, let it sit for about 30 minutes, and then wiped the walls down with plain water. I applied bullseye 1-2-3 as a primer and then 1 coat of a water based paint. Turned out beautiful! I'd definitely use this product again as a deglosser.
