Novol Plus 800 Initial Degreaser (1L) – The Essential First Step for Flawless Adhesion
Prepare your surfaces like a professional with Novol Plus 800 Initial Degreaser. This 1-litre solvent-based cleaner (Product Code: 39022) is specifically designed for the removal of heavy contaminants such as grease, oil, silicone, wax, and road tar.
Using Plus 800 as your first step ensures that your fillers, primers, and paints bond directly to the substrate rather than sitting on a layer of invisible contamination, effectively preventing common paint defects like "fish-eyes" or peeling.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Efficiency Cleaning: Powerfully dissolves industrial oils, waxes, and stubborn road grime that standard detergents can't touch.
- Silicon Remover: Specifically formulated to eliminate silicone residues—the primary cause of "fish-eye" craters in fresh paintwork.
- Universal Application: Safe and effective for use on bare steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, and existing old paint coatings.
- Optimal Evaporation Rate: Balanced formula stays wet long enough to lift contaminants but evaporates cleanly without leaving oily residues.
- Adhesion Insurance: By creating a chemically clean surface, it guarantees the best possible mechanical and chemical bond for your next repair layer.
Professional Application Strategy
For the most effective results, always use the "Two-Cloth Method" when degreasing:
- Apply: Soak a clean, lint-free cloth with Novol Plus 800 and wipe the surface thoroughly.
- Wipe Off: While the surface is still wet, immediately wipe it dry with a second, clean, dry cloth. This ensures the contaminants are lifted and removed rather than simply smeared around the panel.
- Repeat: If the panel was heavily soiled, repeat the process until the drying cloth comes away completely clean.
Pro Tip: Use Plus 800 for the initial "heavy" cleaning of the panel. For the final wipe-down immediately before spraying your basecoat or clearcoat, professionals often switch to an anti-static degreaser or a water-based cleaner to remove any remaining static charge or fine dust.
