SEM 38373 SEM Solve 20 oz Aerosol, MPN 38373 and Mariners Warehouse SKU 109284, supplies solvent-based panel cleaning before refinishing or repair. Remove wax, grease, oil and other documented contamination before refinishing with ready-to-use SEM Solve. Use the wet-wipe procedure and match the actual surface.

SEM Solve is a ready-to-use solvent cleaner for supported bare steel, aluminum, primed and painted surfaces. Limit exposure on plastics, SMC and fiberglass, and do not saturate exposed fibers. It removes documented contamination such as wax, grease, oil and adhesive residue; a precleaner does not repair the substrate or establish that a following coating will adhere without its specified preparation.

Test compatibility and use the current label/SDS for ventilation, protective equipment, ignition control and handling. Apply SEM Solve to the surface or a clean cloth to float contamination, then wipe it off while wet with a clean lint-free cloth in one direction. Change cloths as needed. Do not simply let the contaminated cleaner air-dry; if it dries, rewet and wipe dry. Do not leave a solvent-soaked cloth resting on painted surfaces. Allow the following repair system’s specified preparation before coating.

Panel Cleaner or Gel Adhesive Remover?

SEM 38373 Solve supplies a ready-to-use panel cleaner for documented contamination before refinishing or repair. SEM 77793 supplies a run-resistant gel adhesive remover for supported residue-removal work. Their application behavior and cleaning sequence differ.

Choose from the contamination, actual surface and required preparation rather than treating all solvent aerosols as equivalent. Test compatibility, use each formula’s wiping instructions and follow the next repair system’s preparation. Review the SEM 77793 XXX Specialty Gel Adhesive Remover 20 oz Aerosol as a separately sold option.
