NICHIHA INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SIX-FOOT HORIZONTAL PANELS
30
CLEANING PANELS
After completion of the installation or for
periodic maintenance, it may be necessary to
clean panels.
When washing panels, use no more than 400
psi of water pressure at 10” to 12” away.
To clean heavily soiled areas, a mild household
detergent and/or soft bristle brush may be
required.
Do not allow any detergent/cleaner to dry on
panels. Rise immediately after cleaning.
PAINT TOUCH-UP
Touch up paint must be exterior grade 100%
acrylic latex and can be color matched by
taking a panel sample to your local paint or
home improvement store.
One gallon of Illumination Series touch-up
paint is supplied with your custom color panel
order.
Apply low adhesive tape to panel face at face
fastening locations and remove only after
applying patch and touch up paint.
Where face fasteners have been used and
patched by cementitious ller, use a cotton
swab to lightly dab touch-up paint.
For scratches, use a cotton swab for small ones
or 1” foam brush for longer ones, again using
a dabbing motion rather than brushing in order
to minimize the amount of paint applied.
REMOVAL OF EXTERIOR ACRYLIC

remaining paint residue. Rinse with water and
a clean cloth.
