As with all tools there comes a time to be cleaned from contaminated grease, dirt, oil and in this case windscreen repair resin. If you are familiar with using plastic tools you will be more likely to throw your plastic injector away and start again. As you can see in the picture there is a build up of cured resin which can be cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol or acetone.



This injector pictured was working perfectly holding vacuum and pressure but needs to be stripped back every couple of weeks to carry out this 5 minute maintenance. Once cleaned it will really be like new again. The acetone in the picture (nail varnish remover) can be purchased in a small bottle like this from most chemists for around £3.00.

We do not supply bottles of flammables in our kits as there are restrictions on flammables being sent through the post and its safer for you to manage that risk yourself and know what fire risks you are dealing with.

Once you have cleaned the injector remove the seals and assess if they are loose and replace if necessary. When you replace the large inner black seal you must use a very thin coat of seal grease. Once the grease is applied you almost have to dry wipe it away as you only need a small amount.

For daily cleaning of residue we recommend small IPA wipes for keeping up with everyday residue removal.
