Cleaner

Each surface should be washed at least twice, until the surface being painted is completely clean. The best cleaning results are achieved with properly applied cleaner using the “two-towel” method.

• Apply a thin layer of cleaner to the surface.
• Using the first towel, wipe the surface, absorbing all contaminants while wet (before the cleaner evaporates).
• Using the second “clean” towel, wipe the entire surface dry.
• If any dirt remains on the second towel, reapply cleaner and clean it with new towels.
• Repeat the cleaning process until no traces of dirt remain on the towels.

A cleaner is an indispensable product for degreasing surfaces preparing for painting. The cleaner is a mixture of organic solvents that allow for quick and effective cleaning of surfaces from various contaminants, including grease, oils, silicones, salts, etc. Its action involves chemically dissolving all possible contaminants. Then, we mechanically remove the chemically dissolved contaminants using a towel or cloth. The use of a cleaner helps to avoid paint defects such as fish eyes or small craters. It is hard to find marine painting jobs that would not require the use of such a cleaner.

A high-quality cleaner is characterized by an evaporation time tailored to make the best use of the applied cleaning agent.
