Using it

Do not spray while equipment is energised.

Hold the can about 30cm from the surface and spray liberally. For greater penetration let it soak in before working on the part, then wipe away excess with a clean cloth.

For flooded engines, spray all electrics and leads liberally.

When cleaning painted surfaces, test a small area first for colour fastness.

Storage and handling

Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures above 50 °C. Do not pierce or burn the can, even after use.
