GENERAL OPERATIONS Preservation and de-waxing ΞΦ95 series 0 1.2 DE-WAXING Note: Observe the applicable environmental and safety requirements. The vehicle should preferably be placed on a grid floor. } 2 Most de-waxing agents are inflammable. The de-waxing area should be suitable for the safe use of such products. 1. Remove the preserving agent with a solvent, an emulsifying cleaner or a high-pressure hot water cleaner with added solvent. De-waxing with a high-pressure hot water cleaner should be done carefully and evenly. Set the high-pressure hot water cleaner to a maximum pressure of 100 bar and a maximum temperature of 90 % C.
Do not direct the jet of wax remover too long at the same area, as this could cause serious damage to the paintwork and rubber parts due to the high pressure and the high temperature. If some parts of the treated surface still have preserving agent on them, treat these areas again in the same way. Note: A steam cleaner is not suitable for de-waxing because it requires the use of calcium descaling products to keep the inside of the steam coil clean. The dried residues of these products are difficult to remove. 2. After removing the de-waxing agent, spray the vehicle thoroughly with water. 1-2 © 200651
