What are PFINDER cleaners?
PFINDER cleaners are specially formulated products designed for the controlled removal of:
- PFINDER corrosion protection waxes and temporary protective coatings
- Wax overspray on car bodies and equipment components
- Wax and product residues in application technology
The cleaners are tailored to the properties of PFINDER waxes and ensure:
- Reliable removal of excess material
- Surfaces with minimal to no residue
- High material compatibility with typical substrates, topcoats, and seals
If components are subsequently coated, bonded, or tested during the process, PFINDER cleaners can also be used for degreasing to ensure the required oil- and grease-free condition.
Typical applications for the cleaners
Removal of PFINDER anti-corrosion waxes
Removing Overspray
Cleaning of application equipment
Degreasing and pre-cleaning of untreated components
Use in workshop, manufacturing, and quality control environments
Features and Benefits of the Cleaners
- Compatible system product
Cleaners are specifically designed for PFINDER corrosion protection waxes—ensuring high process reliability and reproducible results. - Efficient removal of protective coatings
Rapid dissolution of waxes, overspray, and product residues reduces downtime and manual effort. - Low-residue to residue-free surfaces
Ideal base for subsequent process steps such as coating, inspection, or assembly. - Compatible with materials and processes
Generally suitable for topcoats; supports the service life of application equipment. - Emissions-optimized variants
Also available in a water-based formulation – depending on process requirements and plant standards.
Sustainability & Environmental Considerations
Products & Applications
Depending on your needs, various PFINDER cleaners are available—as ready-to-use solutions or concentrates. The selection of the appropriate cleaner depends on:
- The type and age of the protective coating to be removed (e.g., cavity wax, underbody protection, temporary wax coating)
- Application method (spraying, wiping, dipping, recirculating cleaning)
- Component geometry and material combination
- Required cleaning intensity and drying properties
Our specialists support you in:
- Designing your cleaning process
- Selecting the appropriate PFINDER cleaner
- Testing in our technical center as well as on-site optimization of your production line
