One Clean Looking Car Wash

This local car wash wanted to make their old-looking car wash new, but did not want some inexpensive house paint they would have to repaint again next year. They needed a high-performance coating system to adhere to the exterior siding and provide long-term color and gloss retention.

Coating aged exterior siding can be difficult without proper preparation and the right coating system. Premature failures are common in such cases. The owner of a car wash contacted Nick Vause from TSE to assess the existing siding and provide the best overcoat recommendation. After considering the project schedule, budget, needs, expectations, and desires, it was decided to use a Tnemec Series 108 ProBond primer and a finish coat of Tnemec Series 1095 EnduraShield. This system ensures maximum adhesion to the challenging surface and excellent color and gloss retention for exterior applications to steel and other substrates in commercial, industrial, and marine environments. Superior Industrial Maintenance applied the coating quickly and successfully, making the car wash look fresh and clean again!
