1️⃣ Apply directly to the surface using a brush or sprayer.

2️⃣ Allow 30–60 seconds of dwell time to break down grease, oil, or residue.

3️⃣ Wipe clean with a cloth — no rinsing required thanks to fast evaporation.

4️⃣ For advanced cleaning, use in dip tanks or ultrasonic baths as needed.

⚠️ Always work in a well-ventilated area and follow proper solvent safety guidelines.

What is a solvent cleaner?
