Spot Cleaning -<br />
Engine Exhaust Areas<br />
MIL-PRF-<br />
85570, Type IV<br />
or V<br />
Undiluted<br />
Type IV: Apply full strength<br />
with a non-abrasive cleaning<br />
pad. Allow 1 to 3 minutes<br />
dwell time. Scrub with<br />
a circular motion. Rinse<br />
thoroughly, and then dry<br />
with a clean cloth. Do not<br />
allow cleaner to dry on surface.<br />
Do not allow the cleaner to dry<br />
on the surfaces or rinsing may<br />
be difficult.<br />
Type V: Apply full strength<br />
with brush or pump spray<br />
device. Allow 5 minutes<br />
dwell time. Brush if necessary,<br />
then spray with fresh<br />
water to rinse.<br />
Spot Cleaning -<br />
Stubborn Soil on Gloss<br />
Painted Surfaces<br />
MIL-PRF-<br />
85570, Type III<br />
Undiluted<br />
Apply full strength with<br />
damp cloth. Allow the<br />
cleaner to dwell for 1-2<br />
minutes. Rub with a circular<br />
motion. If the surface is oily<br />
or greasy apply the cleaning<br />
compound to the dry surface,<br />
allow the cleaning<br />
compound to dwell for 5-15<br />
minutes, then agitate and<br />
rinse with water. Rub with a<br />
circular motion and completely<br />
rinse area, then dry<br />
with a clean cloth. Do not<br />
allow cleaner to dry on surface.<br />
Abrasive spot cleaner for gloss<br />
surfaces only. This cleaner<br />
will raise the gloss of gloss,<br />
semi-gloss, or flat topcoats.<br />
Spot Cleaning -<br />
Stubborn Soils on<br />
Tactical Paint Schemes<br />
Exhaust Tracks,<br />
Smudges, Boot Marks,<br />
or Other Embedded<br />
Soils<br />
MIL-PRF-<br />
85570, Type IV<br />
Undiluted<br />
Apply cleaner with a nonabrasive<br />
cleaning pad.<br />
Allow 1-3 minutes dwell<br />
time. Rub with a circular<br />
motion. Rinse thoroughly,<br />
and then dry.<br />
Cleaning compound contains<br />
rubber particles that aid in the<br />
cleaning process. Do not allow<br />
the cleaner to dry on the surfaces<br />
or rinsing may be difficult.<br />
2.1.7 General Cleaning Material and Processes. Cleaning<br />
compounds facilitate oils, grease, and soil removal. However,<br />
cleaning compounds can damage certain material<br />
surfaces and parts if they are improperly diluted and applied.<br />
2.1.7.1 Cleaning Solutions. Using cleaning solutions more<br />
concentrated than the manufacturer's dilution rates are not<br />
acceptable. This action may actually hamper washing operations<br />
because concentrated soap solutions tend to make surfaces<br />
slippery, the cleaning solutions will not properly dissolve<br />
or lift the contaminants from the surface being cleaned, and<br />
can impede the washing pads from loosening the soils. In<br />
addition, concentrated solutions require more rinse water to<br />
remove excess cleaner and may cause paint deterioration or<br />
corrosion.<br />
