OVERVIEW

Get Your Metal Clean Fast with Cantesco

Every welder knows that a quality weld starts with clean metal. Oil, grease, and shop grime are the enemies of a strong bead, leading to porosity, soot, and weak joints. Cantesco Cleaner in the 16 oz can is your go-to solution for blasting away contaminants in seconds. Whether you are prepping a piece of pipe, cleaning off a repair patch, or just wiping down your table, this spray gets the job done without the hassle of buckets and rags.

This isn't just soapy water; it's a powerful industrial solvent that cuts through heavy grease and cutting fluids instantly. Just spray it on and wipe it off—or let it air dry. It evaporates incredibly fast and, most importantly, it leaves absolutely no residue behind. That means you can strike your arc immediately after cleaning without worrying about fumes from leftover cleaner or contaminants ruining your puddle.

It is also perfect for cleaning up after the job is done. If you use dye penetrants to check your welds, this cleaner works as a remover to clean off the red dye and prep the surface. The aerosol can is easy to grab with a gloved hand, and the spray nozzle puts the cleaner exactly where you need it. Keep a can in your truck or on your welding cart to ensure you never have to weld over dirty metal again.
