    Surface Cleaner Clay

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Surface Cleaner Clay.
    Press this sticky clay onto finished surfaces to remove specks of dirt, flecks of paint, and other particles that are not easily washed off. Also known as detailing clay, it pulls up even microscopic contaminants that dull the finish and prevent coatings from bonding to the surface. Use it to prep painted and coated surfaces before applying wax or polish. Spray your surface with water to keep the clay from sticking—this clay will still pick up particles when it's wet. Knead and stretch the clay between uses.

    Restore and maintain the surface layer on stainless steel that protects it from corrosion. Also known as passivating fluids, these cleaners are made from citric acid, which removes iron from the surface of stainless steel that has been damaged from machining, heat, or chemicals. This exposes the chromium in stainless steel and reacts with air to form a protective layer. These cleaners also remove dirt, discoloration, and minor corrosion. Unlike nitric acid and other passivating fluids, citric acid does not create dangerous fumes and is safe for use throughout your plant. These cleaners come ready-to-use, so you don’t have to mix them, but you can dilute them with water for 400-series stainless steel and other sensitive parts.
    These cleaners meet SAE and ASTM international guidelines for passivating stainless steel. They also meet ASTM international guidelines for descaling and cleaning titanium and titanium alloys.
    Liquids—Liquid cleaners are thinner than gel cleaners, making them ideal for submerging parts. When spot cleaning, however, they will drip down vertical surfaces.
    Gels—Gel cleaners are thicker than liquid cleaners, so they cling to surfaces. Use them on vertical surfaces, weld joints, and other parts that can’t be submerged.
    For Removing Dirt—Cleaners for removing dirt only are less acidic and won’t discolor 400-series stainless steel. Do not use them on parts that have rust.
    For Removing Dirt and Rust—Cleaners for removing dirt and rust contain an additive that eliminates existing rust.

    Fiberglass Polish/Cleaner/Protectants

    Remove dirt and scratches from fiberglass surfaces while leaving a bright, protective coating that lasts for months.
