Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions Proper cleaning procedures and use of chemically compatible cleaners are important in maintaining sheet performance. For more information call (800) 451-3147 Cleaning Procedures 1. Wash sheet with a mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. (See list compatible cleaning agents below.) 2. Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash the sheet to loosen dirt and grime. DO NOT SCRUB. 3. Rinse well with clear water. 4. Dry thoroughly with a chamois or cellulose to prevent water spotting. Note: A squeegee can be used ONLY on the initial pass over the window surface that is “dripping” wet. A soft cloth or sponge should be used to remove the remaining water and streaks and spots – not a squeegee. Cleaning agents which have been found to be compatible with standard uncoated LEXAN and PROTECT-A-GLAZE sheet under laboratory conditions: Aqueous Solutions of Soaps and Detergents • Windex • Mr. Clean • Top Job • Fantastik • Joy • Formula 409 Organic Solvents • Aliphatic Hydrocarbons • Naphtha (VM&P Grade) • Neleco-Placer • Hexcel, F.O. 554 • Kerosene • Turco 5042 Alcohols • Methanol • Isopropyl Cautions • Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners. Never scrape with razor blades or other sharp instruments • Benzene, leaded gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should never be used. • Do not clean in hot sun or elevated temperatures. IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incompatible in a short-term test, it will usually be found incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated. Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that the products be tested under actual end-use conditions by the user. Fresh Paint Splashes, Grease and Glazing Before drying, these conditions can be easily remedied by rubbing lightly with a good grade of VM&P naphtha, isopropyl alcohol, or butyl cellosolve. Afterwards, a warm final wash should be made using a mild soap or detergent solution and thorough rinsing with clean water. Label and Sticker Removal The use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha is generally effective in removing labels and stickers. A warm wash and rinse should always follow the use of these products. In cases where the sticker material, such as vinyl, does not allow the penetration of solvent, the application of heat (a hair dryer, for example) will soften the adhesive and promote removal. Caution: Excessive heat can cause surface damage. Scratch Removal Hairline scratches and minor abrasions can be removed or minimized by using a mild automobile polish. There are a number of such products on the market. Two such products that tend to polish and fill scratches are: Johnson Paste Wax and Mirror Glaze plastic polish (M.G.M. 10), Mirror Bright Polish Co., Pasadena, CA. Prior to general use, it is suggested that a sample of the specific sheet be tested with the polish selected.
