Neutral strength that strips grime from coated metal without stripping the finish.
Coated metal cladding collects traffic film, soot, and greasy fallout that don’t budge with mild soaps - and high-alkaline hitters risk whitening, streaking, and warranty headaches. Crews lose time managing hotspots, rework streaks on vertical runs, and fighting hard water while the sun pushes panels past safe temps. The job has to be thorough, fast, and low-risk to the finish.
SaraWest Metal Panel Wash is a neutral, professional cleaner built for lacquered, painted, and factory-coated metal panels. An optimized surfactant and chelation system wets tight soils, breaks the bond to the coating, and releases grime under low pressure with minimal brushing. It rinses clean, even in hard water, to reduce spotting and shadowing. Use it on PVDF, polyester, baked enamel, and powder-coated substrates to cut contamination without the bite of high pH.
Formulated and batch‑controlled in our 30,000 sq ft plant in Pampa, Texas, this wash reflects nearly four decades of formulation discipline. We ship in production volumes and make private label straightforward - your brand, compliant labels, and consistent chemistry ready for distributor and contractor lines.
- Neutral pH protects modern finishes while dissolving traffic film, soot, and oils.
- Chelated formula handles hard water; rinses spot-free on vertical cladding.
- Low-foam chemistry works with soft-wash, bucket-and-brush, or foamers.
- Compatible with PVDF, polyester, baked enamel, and powder-coated panels.
- Concentrate stretches up to 1:50, lowering cost per 1,000 square feet.
Pre-rinse panels to remove loose soil. Work in shade when possible; keep surface below 100°F. Always test a small, inconspicuous area.
Dilution: Light soil 1:30–1:50. Medium soil 1:15–1:30. Heavy buildup or localized spots 1:10. Use cool to warm water; product is effective down to 40°F.
Application: Apply solution bottom-up by low-pressure sprayer or foamer for even coverage. Allow 2–5 minutes of dwell. Do not let product dry. Agitate with a soft-bristle brush on stubborn areas.
Rinse: Flush thoroughly with high-volume, low to moderate pressure, top-down final rinse. Verify a clean water break to confirm residue-free panels. For bare or anodized metals and sensitive trim pieces, test first and reduce dwell if needed. Do not mix with other cleaners or acids.
- One-pass removal of typical traffic film at 1:20–1:40 on coated panels.
- 1–2 fewer brush passes per 1,000 sq ft vs. generic neutral soaps.
- Reduced streaking touch-ups on vertical cladding by 30–50% in field use.
- Consistent water break and minimal spotting after rinse, even in hard water.
- Gloss retention maintained within typical manufacturer tolerance after repeat cleaning.
Buying factory-direct from SaraWest removes distributor layers and the guesswork around anonymous blends. You get a purpose-built, neutral metal panel cleaner engineered for coated substrates, not a rebadged degreaser. We control raw inputs, batch QC, and documentation under one roof in Pampa, Texas, so performance and labeling are consistent from pail to drum. Private label is straightforward - your brand on a proven formula - backed by formulation depth earned over forty years and lead times that match contractor demand.
