DO NOT LET IT DRY ON THE SURFACE! This will only cause a zinc buildup. After rinsing with water, used compressed air (if possible) to blow off excess moisture. We also use a clean dry cloth to absorb the excess moisture before allowing to air dry thoroughly. This will minimize the discoloration. What temperature are you working in? In either case that &quot;discoloration&quot; or &quot;flash rust&quot; you&quot;re seeing is perfectly fine to apply epoxy primer over. With that zinc on the surface it will bond like crazy. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/43#post-86 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:36:49 +0000 KBS Coatings 86@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-AquaKlean_p_1-27.html" class="postlink">KBS AquaKlean</a> will work to clean your engine. Mix a 1-1 solution with warm water, spray the engine down, and allow it to soak for up to 30 minutes. Use a brush to scrub any &quot;hard&quot; areas. Rinse completely with water. If you engine is really greasy and dirty, you may need to repeat.<br /><br />As for solvent based cleaners, solvent does not always make a cleaner any better than a water-based cleaner. Also, water-based cleaners are much friendly for the environment. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/47#post-94 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:36:44 +0000 KBS Coatings 94@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-AquaKlean_p_1-27.html" class="postlink">KBS AquaKlean</a> works very well for removing algae and slime.

I'm looking for a solvent to remove oils, wax, grease, and silicone from *painted* surfaces prior to coating, but preferably a water-based solution. Right now I am in the middle of sanding the existing paint before I spray some sealer and want to get rid if any sanding residue and the like, aka above from the surface. It sounds like AquaKlean is suitable for all surfaces. <br /><br />Just looking for some feed back before I prime and seal. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/42#post-84 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:54:21 +0000 Anonymous 84@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ Brief exposure of the AquaKlean or RustBlast will not harm the paint. It will remove any wax you may have on the surface though. Just rinse off with water and do not allow the surface to soak in the solutions. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/47#post-93 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:17:23 +0000 Anonymous 93@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ Got a heavy buildup of algae &amp; slime on my boat.
