Features

  • Cleans metal surfaces prior to painting
  • Removes grease, oil and excess paint spots
  • Ideal for cleaning brushes, spray equipment and overspray
  • Instant dry time allowing you to immediately prime after use

How to Apply

  • Use before painting to remove grease, oil and contaminants from the surface.* Saturate a dry, clean cloth with solvent and wipe the area until all contamination has been removed, turning the cloth frequently to avoid re-depositing contaminants.

    *Do not apply over any acrylic or water-based paint. This will damage the existing coating.

  • Use after painting to remove paint spots and overspray, and to clean brushes, spray guns and accessories used with enamel paints and lacquers. For oil based paints and lacquers, pour solvent into a glass or metal container, dip the brush bristles into the solvent and swirl.

  • Suitable for use with White Knight Rust Guard Epoxy Enamel, Hammered Finish, Cold Gal and Cold Gal Silver, Metal Primer, SLS Etch Primer, White Knight Tub & Basin, White Knight Pot Belly Black, and most oil based paints. Not recommended for use on vinyl, laminates, polystyrene, plastics, fabrics, or any surface sensitive to strong solvents.
