2. Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash the sheet to loosen dirt and grime and rinse well
with clean water.
3. To prevent water spotting, thoroughly dry with chamois or cellulose sponge.

All residual organic solvents should be removed with a secondary rinse.
GRAFFITI REMOVAL
Butyl cellosolve (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.). The use of
masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered
paints.
To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha are generally
effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to
soften the adhesive and promote removal.
IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incompatible in a short-term test, it will usually be
found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable
performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated.
Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that the
user test the products under actual end-use conditions.
