Heavy-Duty Surface Cleaning for Superior Preparation & Professional Maintenance

Every quality repair, coating or installation has one thing in common—a properly prepared surface. Even the best paint, adhesive or lubricant can't perform as intended when grease, silicone, wax, machining coolant or oil residue remains beneath the surface.

Boston Cleaners & Degreasers are professional cleaning solutions formulated to remove grease film, hydraulic oil, cutting fluids, machining coolant, wax, silicone contamination, adhesive residue, petroleum deposits, dirt & industrial grime from tools, machinery, vehicle components & production equipment. They're trusted across automotive workshops, fabrication facilities, manufacturing plants, agricultural operations & industrial maintenance where surface preparation directly influences repair quality, coating adhesion & equipment reliability.

Professional maintenance follows a complete workflow rather than treating cleaning as a standalone task. Many technicians begin with Boston Cleaners & Degreasers, remove corrosion using Boston Rust Removers, restore surfaces with Boston Paints, protect finished equipment using Boston Protective Coatings & Sealants & complete preventative servicing with Boston Lubricants.

Unlike household cleaners, professional degreasers are engineered to dissolve stubborn industrial contamination while preparing surfaces for painting, bonding, welding, inspection & preventative maintenance.

Why Choose Boston Cleaners & Degreasers?

Cleaning is only the first step—the real objective is creating surfaces ready for the next stage of the job. Whether you're preparing machinery for servicing, removing silicone before painting or cleaning fabricated steel before welding, proper degreasing reduces rework while improving long-term results.

Boston Cleaners & Degreasers provide:

► Fast removal of grease, oil, wax & industrial contaminants
► Eliminates silicone contamination before painting
► Removes machining oils & cutting fluids before fabrication
► Excellent surface preparation before bonding & coating
► Suitable for workshops, manufacturing & industrial maintenance
► Supports preventative maintenance & equipment reliability

Many workshops use Boston Cleaners & Degreasers before applying Boston Adhesive Sprays during assembly projects, while refinishing specialists often continue with Boston Paints after surfaces have been thoroughly prepared.

Common Applications

Surface Preparation Before Painting

Professional coatings perform best when applied to contamination-free surfaces.

Common preparation tasks include:

► Removing wax before refinishing
► Eliminating silicone contamination
► Cleaning bare steel before priming
► Preparing machinery for repainting
► Removing oil film before protective coatings

Automotive Repairs & Mechanical Servicing

Grease & oil often conceal developing mechanical faults that become visible only after proper cleaning.

Frequently cleaned:

► Engine components
► Gearboxes
► Suspension assemblies
► Brake components
► Differential housings

Specialised engine cleaning is often completed using Boston Engine Degreasers before detailed mechanical inspections.

Fabrication & Manufacturing

Successful fabrication begins with contamination-free materials that support stronger welds, coatings & finished assemblies.

Suitable for:

► Structural steel
► Sheet metal
► Aluminium fabrication
► Machine components
► Production equipment

Workshop efficiency often improves when maintenance schedules are planned in advance. Explore practical strategies in Spring Jobsite Prep – Getting Your Gear Ready.

Preventative Maintenance Programs

Routine cleaning helps identify wear before it develops into equipment failure.

Common maintenance activities include:

► Scheduled shutdown maintenance
► Fleet servicing
► Production line maintenance
► Hydraulic equipment inspections
► Industrial plant servicing

Regular preventative maintenance supported by Boston Lubricants helps protect cleaned components after servicing is complete.

Expert Tips

Professional technicians understand that contamination hidden beneath paint, adhesives or lubricants often becomes the cause of future failures. Proper preparation always saves time later.

► Degrease components before measuring wear or inspecting for cracks
► Remove silicone contamination before applying primers or paint
► Eliminate machining oils before welding or fabrication
► Allow cleaned surfaces to dry completely before painting or bonding
► Match degreaser strength to the type of contamination
► Inspect cleaned equipment for corrosion, loose fasteners & fluid leaks
► Dispose of contaminated cleaning waste in accordance with environmental regulations
