AERON MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Commercial in Confidence 6
Any loose deposits which remain, remove with a wet sponge (water). If it is not possible to clean
the surface as described above, use a light (non-metallic) brush or cloths, which may be used on
paintwork areas along with a neutral mild household or neutral car wash detergent (following the
supplier’s instructions). After cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with fresh water.
In harsher environments, (such as highways, coastlines, power stations etc.), the conditions may
be harsher with corrosive atmospheric content, (e.g. Salt, Sulphur, Nitrates).
In these locations, washing should be undertaken more frequently, and the housing thoroughly
rinsed with clean, fresh water. Failure to remove these materials at this early stage will require the
use of more aggressive cleaning materials and techniques that may result in damage to the
coated surface. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to first test a small, inconspicuous test area
to ensure that no colour change or damage arises.
Cleaning of Different Finishes
For gloss coatings follow above steps. It is highly recommended to use anti-corrosion lubricant
aerosol spray (GT85 or ACF50) as a protective coating on surfaces after washing, avoiding
contact/overspray on windows/lenses.
Metallic coatings contain mica or metallic flakes. Particular care must be taken when cleaning this
kind of special finish. For routine cleaning, periodic washing with mild detergent is recommended.
Any cleaning or repair by rubbing or polishing must be avoided as it may result in discolouration,
colour change and irreversible damage to the coating.
Matt finishes: for cleaning, washing with a mild detergent is recommended. If repair or restoration
is required, rubbing or polishing should be avoided since the gloss level of the coating could be
affected.
Note:
Although the Aeron is designed for prolonged, outdoor use with minimal in-field servicing
requirements. The frequency of the maintenance schedule should be determined by the end-user
depending on the conditions in the environment of the installation. As a general rule, the coated
surface should be cleaned at least once a year in a normal environment. However, in areas where
pollutants are more prevalent, especially in coastal or industrial areas, a more frequent cleaning
programme should be carried out. As a rule of thumb:
• Normal environment - clean every 12 months
• Marine and/or industrial environment - clean every 3 months
• Wet & humid conditions - clean every 3 months
