PROFESSIONAL SIGN AND AWNING CLEANERS

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

AWNING CLEANER AND PROTECTANT is specially designed for routine cleaning and warranty maintenance. Safely cleans all types of awnings including vinyl, canvas. Polypropylene, nylon and dacron. AWNING CLEANER AND PROTECTANT is safe and easy to use, cost effective, and tested by major vinyl fabric manufacturers.

APPEARANCE RESTORATION

DEEP CLEAN (concentrate) restores most of the original colour and appearance by eliminating the effects of neglect or improper maintenance. Neglect and improper maintenance will allow vinyl and other awning materials to absorb soot, road film and air pollution, which destroy the appearance of vinyl. DEEP CLEAN gently, but powerfully, lifts all solids and stains from the fabric, quickly and efficiently.

APPEARANCE REJUVENATION

AWNING ARMOR (concentrate) protects awnings and outdoor vinyl from the ravages of nature and man, caustic chemicals, air pollution, heat and the effects of Ultraviolet light from the sun. AWNING ARMOR will help reduce lost plasticizer, provide a UV barrier, help enhance original colour, reduce fading and keep vinyl looking like new. AWNING ARMOR contains no drying penetrating agents, solvents or glycerine to dry and de-plasticize expensive vinyl.
