From the call to back in service.

  1. The vehicle is tagged.

    Sprayers do not wait for nightfall — it happens by day and by night, on a siding and inside the depot.

  2. You call, we are on the way.

    Our stand-by team is ready around the clock. We step in during a gap between runs — you do not have to pull the vehicle out of the timetable.

  3. We clean gently, the dry way.

    Anywhere, any time. No damage to the original paint or the anti-graffiti film — and no waste water into the environment.

  4. The vehicle runs to its original plan.

    No unplanned downtime, no replacement vehicles, no lost money.

Technology

The dry method. Gentle on the surface.

No pressurised water

We apply gentle chemistry locally and wipe it off with a squeegee into a collection tray under the vehicle. No waste water runs off into the environment.

Gentle on paint and film

The wet method drives water and aggressive chemistry across an unnecessarily large area and degrades the original paint. The dry method works step by step — paint, anti-graffiti film and the hydrophobic layer stay intact.

Environmentally sound from start to finish

We use non-aggressive certified agents, and we take away all cleaning waste and dispose of it in an environmentally sound way. The dust-free process also handles tunnels and underpasses.

Round-the-clock stand-by

Our emergency team deploys at any time — to a siding, to the depot or to you. No waiting for a workshop slot.

We clean every surface of a rail vehicle

  • Original vehicle paint
  • Anti-graffiti film (exterior and interior)
  • Hydrophobic coatings
  • Polymer sprays
  • Interior surfaces
  • Glass and windows

We work with the dry method as standard — it is gentler and faster. If you require the wet method, we can do that too.
