CT1 Multisolve is a fast-acting solvent spray that strips adhesives, silicone, grease, wax, tar and more from most surfaces. Dries clean with no oily residue, leaving surfaces ready to bond or finish without a secondary wipe-down.

CT1 Multisolve Spray is a multi-purpose solvent aerosol designed to remove adhesives, sealants, silicone, grease, oil, wax, tar, paraffin and printing ink from a wide range of surfaces. It works in seconds, leaves no oil film behind, and dries fast enough that you are not standing around waiting before the next step. If you use CT1 products regularly, this is the one that goes alongside them on the shelf.
The consistency is water-thin, which matters more than it sounds. It gets under adhesive bonds and sealant edges almost immediately, without you having to put elbow into it. Stubborn residues occasionally need a second spray and a few seconds of dwell time, but that is about as complicated as it gets. No scrubbing, no soaking, no drama.
What separates Multisolve from cheaper solvent sprays is what it leaves behind. Nothing. A lot of solvent cleaners shift the contamination rather than removing it, leaving a thin oily film that will ruin any adhesive or paint applied over the top. Multisolve evaporates cleanly, so the surface is actually ready for the next step rather than just looking ready. That distinction matters on a job where bond failure comes back to haunt you.
CT1 specifically recommend using Multisolve as a preparatory cleaner before applying any of their adhesives or sealants. A clean, degreased surface is one of the most important factors in bond strength, and any trace of silicone, wax or oil will compromise a joint. Spraying Multisolve first takes about thirty seconds and dries quickly enough to keep the job moving. If you are on CT1 sealants, consider this the thing you use first rather than the thing you forget.
Where CT1 Multisolve Spray Gets Used
Plumbers reach for it when stripping old silicone from bath and shower surrounds before resealing. Tilers use it to clean adhesive residue from tiles and substrates. Joiners and shopfitters find it useful when bonded panels need separating cleanly, and signmakers use it to remove old vinyl graphics and their adhesive backing without harming the surface underneath.
Beyond the obvious trade applications, it handles a few jobs that other solvents cannot touch safely. Tar spots on vehicle panels, ink residue on printing equipment, wax stripping from floors before refinishing, and degreasing metal components before bonding are all within its range. The fact that it is safe on painted surfaces, vinyl, glass, rubber and most plastics puts it ahead of stronger solvents that risk lifting paint or clouding clear materials. That is a useful thing to know before you reach for something more aggressive.
Choosing Between 200ml and 500ml
The 200ml aerosol is a practical size for the toolbox or occasional use on site. The 500ml is the one to choose if Multisolve is a regular part of your process, whether that is prep work ahead of CT1 sealant, ongoing silicone removal jobs, or keeping the van stocked without restocking every other week. Both sizes deliver the same product. One just lasts longer.
Pro Tip: Before applying CT1 SEALANT or any CT1 adhesive to a surface that has previously been siliconed, always clean back with Multisolve first, because even invisible silicone contamination is enough to prevent proper adhesion and no amount of pressure will fix that once the product is down.
CT1 Multisolve Spray is used wherever surfaces need cleaning, degreasing or stripping before bonding, sealing or finishing. Plumbers use it to remove silicone residue from bath surrounds, shower trays and pipe fittings. Tilers use it on tiles and substrates to strip adhesive residue cleanly. Joiners, glaziers, shopfitters and signmakers reach for it when panels, graphics or bonded materials need separating without surface damage. It also handles tar removal on vehicle bodywork, wax stripping on floors, ink cleaning on printing equipment, and degreasing metal components ahead of bonding. It earns its place across a wide range of trades.

Key Properties
Leaves no oil film or residue
Fast drying
Water-thin consistency for fast penetration
Safe on most painted surfaces
Available in 200ml and 500ml aerosol
Recommended by CT1 for pre-bonding surface prep
Not suitable for: Not suitable for use on polystyrene or certain solvent-sensitive plastics. Check compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area before using on unfamiliar materials.
Shake the can before use. Spray Multisolve directly onto the contaminated area or onto a clean cloth, then allow a few seconds of dwell time before wiping away the residue. For stubborn adhesive or heavy silicone build-up, a second application with slightly longer dwell time usually clears it without scrubbing.Once applied, Multisolve evaporates cleanly and leaves no oily residue. No secondary clean-up is needed before applying adhesive, sealant or paint. On vertical surfaces, apply to a cloth rather than spraying directly to avoid run-off.
Shake the aerosol can well before use
Spray Multisolve directly onto the contaminated surface or onto a clean lint-free cloth
Allow a few seconds of dwell time for the solvent to penetrate the residue
Wipe away the dissolved adhesive, silicone or grease with the cloth
For heavy or stubborn residue, apply a second spray and allow slightly longer dwell time before wiping
Allow the surface to dry fully before applying CT1 sealant, adhesive or any other coating
Is CT1 Multisolve safe to use on painted surfaces?
Yes, Multisolve is safe on most painted surfaces, which is one of the reasons it gets used on vehicle bodywork and decorating jobs where stronger solvents would cause damage. That said, it is always worth testing on a small area first if you are unsure about the specific paint or coating involved.
Do I need to wipe the surface down after using Multisolve before applying CT1 sealant?
No. Multisolve evaporates cleanly and leaves no oily residue, so once it has dried the surface is ready for the next step. This is precisely why CT1 recommend it as a prep cleaner before applying their sealants and adhesives. A secondary wipe-down is not required.
Which size should I buy, 200ml or 500ml?
The 200ml is a handy size for the toolbox or occasional use. If you are using Multisolve regularly as part of your prep process or want a can in the van that lasts more than a few jobs, the 500ml is the more practical choice and better value per millilitre.
CT1 Multisolve is a fast-evaporating solvent-based aerosol formulated to dissolve and lift a broad range of contaminants including silicone, adhesive, grease, wax, tar, oil and printing ink. Its water-thin viscosity allows rapid penetration beneath surface bonds. The formulation leaves no oily residue after evaporation, making it suitable as a preparatory cleaner prior to adhesive or sealant application. Available in 200ml and 500ml aerosol format.
