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 />
