NanoUltra Revolutionizes Glass Restoration
These new Nano-based products are
revolutionizing architectural window
cleaning. NanoUltra™ Super Hydrophilic
Window Technology works by combining
a chemical and mechanical polishing
mechanism to finish and protect the glass.
The protection is a transparent hydrophilic
treatment that repels dirt and grime deposits and allows water to form a thin
sheet that easily rinses dirt away leaving a spotless finish.
The NanoUltra Super Hydrophilic Window Technology is a two-step process that
first cleans and polishes windows back to their original condition, then provides
an invisible protection to keep windows cleaner longer.
How does this impact window cleaners?
• The water literally sheets down the glass & accelerates drying.
• Whether you WFP or traditional clean, the glass will stay cleaner
longer, especially if it rains. The dirt just flows off.
• Substantial revenue can be earned by bringing a customer’s
glass back to new condition, and protecting it for up to 2 years.
“I serviced a house located in Southern
California in San Clemente City. A poorly
designed garden sprinkler system cost my customer
repeatable problems with hard water on her kitchen
window. When I used the NanoUltra™ product, the result were
unbelievable! The glass was like new and had no sign of stains.
The Stain Remover and Polish helps me clean the glass easily and
the Super Hydrophilic Treatment provides great protection for the
future. After my job was done, my client asked me how I removed
the stains and polished the window so well. I didn’t, NanoUltra
did! In a short time her neighbors called to order my “miracle”
service.” Thanks NanoUltra!!

“I love this product. I use NanoUltra
on a daily basis. My residential customers
are constantly commenting on the difference
they can see in their windows months after we
have completed the service. These before and after
photos “CLEARLY” show how well NanoUltra works.
This residence was neglected for more than four
years before we came to restore the windows
inside and out.
Mike DePola
Saginaw, MI
“We received the product on
time and have completed the job. The
glass on these buildings looks beautiful!!
These windows were an ideal match for
NanoUltra due to the quality of glass as well as
their well maintained history. All homeowners
are extremely pleased and feel they received
value in the service we provided.”

Waterless Oil Stain Remover
Cleaning oily concrete with 3-Star Concrete Powder
Waterless Oil Stain Remover is an easy add-on
business with lots of benefits:
• Fast and easy
• Environmentally friendly (no water used)
• No water reclamation
• Vastly cheaper for you (make more money)
3-Star Concrete Powder Waterless Oil Stain Remover
works by penetrating deep into the pores of the
concrete where petroleum-based stains are trapped. It
breaks down the hydrocarbon chain of the petroleumbased stains. Once the chain is broken 3-Star
Concrete Powder decomposes and dissolves the
hydrocarbons with bio-organic compounds that actually
consume the stains.
Simply sprinkle 3-Star Concrete Powder Waterless Oil
Stain Remover over the oil stain area. Using a fine bristle
flat tip broom, spread it out evenly over the concrete
surface going long-ways and then width-ways in a
crossover pattern to achieve a smooth even layer on the
surface of the concrete. Sweep up excess compound
leaving only a very light residue.
The light powder residue helps resist future stains. As
cars are driven and people walk over the product they
help push 3-Star Concrete Powder Waterless Oil Stain
Remover further down into the pores of the concrete and
thereby enable it to continue to work. It also immediately
starts to dissolve future stains.
Coverage: One pound of powder
cleans 175 square feet usage varies
depending on surface, the amount
of oil to be cleaned and applicator’s
technique.

Cleaning Glass is only Half the Battle
Clean glass is a thing of beauty. As window cleaners we are all proud of our
results. But some glass gets hammered between cleanings by sprinklers,
dirt, concrete runoff, and other hard-to-remove elements. That glass should
be protected with 3-Star Barrier, a molecular coating that makes it hard for
those elements to stick; and it’s much easier for you to clean the next time.
Best of all is how you apply it. Simply mix with water, mop on to clean glass,
and squeegee off; no elbow grease required.
