Easy-clean environment
ChelaGuard® allows treated areas of a surface to become smooth and crevice-free making general cleaning and graffiti removal quick and easy.
Untreated areas will become saturated with peaks and troughs. Graffiti, dirt and grime becomes ingrained within these crevices making general cleaning difficult and time consuming.
UV and weathering protection
Any outdoor surface is always open to weathering and harmful UV radiation. Naturally, washing cycles and the sun’s rays will inevitably dull most surfaces. The protective layer generated by ChelaGuard® ensures a rich colour gloss finish.
