Mildly alkaline cleaner for removing rust stains and residues of metal oxide.
Properties
The reactive compounds work on the rust and transform it into water soluble particles. The reaction becomes visible through a purple discolouration. The resulting particles can be rinsed off with water. Lithofin Rust-EX does not change the appearance of the surface and can therefore be used on single stains.

Directions for Use
Generously apply undiluted product to the dry surface and distribute with a brush. A purple discolouration shows the start of the reaction. Allow to work for about 5 minutes, 10 minutes max! Do not allow product to dry. After working time, add water and a splash of Lithofin MN Power-Clean, brush and rinse off with plenty of water.
