E7.01 Sanding and cleaning
Pre-Cleaning
Steel. Remove rust by sandblasting, wire brush or coarse sanding paper (P16 to P80) to
achieve a bare substrate. For rust through areas tinning is recommended. In case of larger
damaged areas it might be necessary to weld in a new sheet or to replace the whole part.
Remove any remains like scale from welding, tinning or any parting compounds and fluxing
agents thoroughly.
Cleaning
Clean any old paint (OE finish) thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt.
Clean with a suitable pre-cleaner, e.g.
D837 DX330 Spirit Wipe
o
D845 DX310 High
Strength Degreaser
. If there is any VOC legislation in force, use
D842 DX380 low VOC
Cleaner
or
D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner
. If using
D842
, rinse the surface with
T494
Envirobase thinner
immediately after degreasing, then dry the panel surface.

Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and
carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges
and borders. Use a guide coat for best results:
