A SheerGuard SA Guide
Exolon® polycarbonate products are engineered for outstanding durability, optical clarity, and long-term performance. To ensure these benefits last – and to maintain the validity of the Exolon lifetime warranty – correct cleaning and maintenance are essential. At SheerGuard SA, we believe that proper care not only protects your investment but also preserves the product’s appearance and performance for years to come.
Use the Right Cleaning Method
Exolon sheets should always be cleaned using only lukewarm water. This gentle approach effectively removes dust, dirt, and environmental residues without damaging the protective surface layer.
A soft sponge, microfiber cloth, or soft cotton cloth is recommended. These materials prevent scratching and help maintain the product’s optical clarity.
Avoid Harmful Chemicals and Abrasives
To protect the UV-protective coating and surface finish, never use:
- Abrasive pads, brushes, or scouring sponges
- Solvents such as acetone, benzene, toluene, or thinners
- Alkaline cleaners, ammonia-based products, or glass cleaners
- High-pressure washers or steam cleaners
The use of any of these products can permanently damage the surface, leading to clouding, cracking, or loss of UV protection – and may void the lifetime warranty.
Rinse Thoroughly and Dry Gently
After washing, rinse the Exolon sheet thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Allow the surface to air-dry or gently wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing dry dust particles across the surface, as this can cause fine scratches.
Regular Maintenance for Long-Term Performance
Routine cleaning prevents the buildup of pollutants, bird droppings, salt, and industrial fallout – all of which can degrade the surface over time if left untreated. Regular, gentle maintenance helps Exolon products retain their clarity, strength, and weather resistance throughout their lifespan.
