SWAT ( Solvent Wipe All Traces )

 Solvent Wipe All Traces

Introducing SWAT 

COMPARE YOUR CURRENT SOLVENT WIPE 

The revolutionary solvent wipe that’s about to change your refinishing game forever! Imagine a world where even on humid days when tape refuses to stick to slick tile walls, you can finally say goodbye to the headache of stubborn, razor-blade-required soap scum.

Picture soap dishes so encrusted you can’t even discern their original color, or clear silicone so thick it looks like someone caulked with their thumb. And it doesn’t stop there.

SWAT is engineered to conquer every challenge you face in your day-to-day business—from those greasy cabinets that haven’t been cleaned in 20 years to exhaust hoods in kitchens that require meticulous masking off.

A few swipes with SWAT, and those seemingly impossible surfaces are transformed into a pristine canvas ready for refinishing. But that’s not all. We’ve taken it a step further by addressing the most demanding tasks.

Removing ceramic or nano polishes on cars, which often form crystallized silicone layers that every detailer insists can only be removed mechanically, is now within your reach. Whether its adhesive residues clinging to every nook and cranny, stubborn grease defying conventional solvents, or even the latest high-tech coatings, SWAT is your secret weapon.

Field testing by the industry’s most experienced refinishers confirms it: when it comes to preparing bathtubs, tiles, countertops, cabinets, and more, nothing cleans, and primes surfaces as flawlessly as SWAT.

Every detail counts, and choosing any other product isn’t just less effective—it’s simply not a good move. Step into the future of refinishing with SWAT and turn your toughest cleaning challenges into a thing of the past!

Unrivaled Field Performance: The SWAT Revelation

Field-tested by professional refinishers, SWAT consistently removes hidden contaminants that standard solvents leave behind, allowing coatings to bond deeper into substrates instead of merely sitting on top. In extensive real-world trials, top refinishers prepared surfaces exactly as they always did—using a standard solvent wipe prior to applying a wipe-on primer or a spray-on epoxy primer. Then, as a final step, they introduced SWAT.

The results were astonishing. Even on white rags and towels, SWAT exposed trace contaminants that all other solvents overlooked. Many professionals were shocked to see those coatings, when applied over surfaces treated with SWAT, were drawn into the substrate rather than merely sitting on top—a clear indication that SWAT was removing moisture and residues so effectively that nothing was left behind.

The Science of Clean: Silanes, Wetting, and Covalent Bonds

For wipe-on primers to work effectively, every microscopic contaminant must be removed. The adhesion chemistry relies on silanes—special compounds that form strong covalent bonds with the substrate.

• Wetting: This process ensures the primer spreads evenly across the surface, making intimate contact that is essential for a durable bond. Any residual contaminant disrupts wetting and prevents uniform coverage.
• Covalent Bonding with Silanes: Silanes require a perfectly clean surface to bond chemically. Even a small trace of silicone, soap scum, wax, or any residue interrupts these bonds, leading to adhesion failures.

Deep Penetration & Kinetic Drying: The Secret to a Perfect Bond

One of the most critical steps in surface preparation is the removal of hidden moisture—especially from grout lines and porous areas. SWAT penetrates deeply into these hard-to-reach spaces, drawing out moisture with a built-in kinetic drying mechanism.

This chemical drying process works without the need for external heat sources such as heat guns, blow dryers, or turbine air. As a result, SWAT not only cleans thoroughly but also ensures the surface is completely dry before any sanding or coating is applied. This is vital because any remaining residue, when sanded, can be smeared into the surface, leading to fisheyes, blushing, and poor adhesion.
