Soft washing the panels prior to using the pure water fed system is a great technique to ensure that the soil and other contaminants are effectively removed without damaging the panels.

Cleaning concrete surfaces in preparation for a solvent-based color sealer involves a series of systematic steps to ensure optimal results. Here's a general overview of the process:

1. Surface Inspection:
   
   • Begin by assessing the condition of the concrete surface, identifying any stains, dirt, grease, or other contaminants that need removal.

1. Surface Sweeping or Blowing:
   
   • Remove loose dirt, debris, and dust by either sweeping the surface or using a leaf blower. This step helps prevent these particles from interfering with the cleaning process.

1. Pre-Treatment for Stains:
   
   • Treat any stubborn stains or spots with appropriate concrete cleaners or degreasers. Allow the cleaning agents to sit for the recommended dwell time to break down the stains.

1. Pressure Washing:
   
   • Utilize a pressure washer with the appropriate nozzle and pressure settings to thoroughly clean the entire concrete surface. This step helps remove embedded dirt, grime, and contaminants.

1. Cleaning Solution Application:
   
   • Apply a concrete cleaner or degreaser to the surface. Ensure that the chosen cleaning solution is compatible with the color sealer being used and is designed for solvent-based applications.

1. Scrubbing or Agitation:
   
   • Use a stiff-bristled brush or mechanical scrubber to agitate the cleaning solution into the concrete surface. This helps lift and break down contaminants for easier removal.

1. Rinsing:
   
   • Rinse the entire surface thoroughly with clean water to remove the cleaning solution, dirt, and contaminants. A pressure washer can be used for effective rinsing.

1. Drying:
   
   • Allow the cleaned surface to dry completely before applying the color sealer. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents issues with the sealer application.

1. Application of Color Sealer:
   
   • Once the concrete is thoroughly cleaned and dry, apply the solvent-based color sealer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a suitable applicator, such as a roller or sprayer, to achieve even coverage.

1. Curing:
   
   • Allow the color sealer to cure for the recommended time. This may involve avoiding foot or vehicle traffic on the surface during the curing period.

1. Final Inspection:
   
   • Conduct a final inspection to ensure that the concrete surface is evenly coated with the color sealer and that the desired finish has been achieved.

It's essential to follow the specific guidelines provided by the color sealer manufacturer, as different products may have variations in application methods and curing times. Additionally, always prioritize safety by using protective gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, during the cleaning and sealing process. First Choice Exterior Solutions can do that for you!
