I have smooth wall panels made by Delpro. I talked to them and they recommended not using harsh acid to clean them. I bought some stuff from Kleen Rite that is recommended for smooth vinyl panels and it sux. I used it full strength and still had to scrub with a brush and reapply and scrub more. Delpro said the harsh acid would etch the surface. Has anyone used anything that has the cleaning power without etching effect.

I’ve used Stone Soap’s Restore for 20 years. It does contain ABF so you still need to be careful.
I mix at 5:1 in a sprayer, spraying the walls, hit it with a blue nylon truck brush on an extendable brush handle, then wash off with my SS bay gun. Any real stubborn areas I use a Magic Eraser.
I have a 21 year old RBS building with the plastic walls filled with concrete. Building still looks great! I’ve also used Restore on Extrutech, Nu-Wall and the covers on my Razors with great results.
Using a strong acid will burn the shiny coating off of the panels. As soon as you do that the panels require more cleaning. If you’re looking for a spray on/hose off product you’re not going to find anything. The “scrubbing “ I do with the brush is just to evenly distribute the chemical and knock off anything heavy.
