EASILY CLEAN AND RESTORE RIG PAINTWORK TO A SHINE

Kemilux rust solvent is an easy-to-use paintwork cleaning agent that removes rust stains, as well as general dirt and contaminant build-up. commonly found on marine paintwork subject to harsh offshore environments.
Easy to use - apply neat or diluted, just like a regular rig wash - brush or spray onto the surface. Leave to work for about 15 -20 minutes and the rust staining, dirt, and other contaminants will disappear - rinse with water. 

*Please refer to the safety data sheet for recommended application and handling.

On most occasions, surfaces will appear as newly painted, revealing the original luster and shine. Depending on how heavily stained, re apply using the same procedure until rust and dirt contaminants have gone.
