New Cap for Sparkle Clean
How do you improve a great product? Add new features or capabilities; which is why Herkules now offers a new cap for our aerosol paint cleaner Sparkle Clean. Users now have two stream options: wide or narrow enabling users to target a wide area, or focus on narrow chamber, with the flip of the lid. We wanted to provide more cleaning options, and the new cap allows us to do just that. Sparkle Clean already offers a narrow stream through an attached straw; our new cap retains that option, but also enables shops to clean a larger area quickly and efficiently, with a simple adjustment. Effective with either solvent or waterborne paints, Sparkle Clean provides a method to quickly clean stubborn paint off of paint guns immediately.
