Do not use naphtha, soapy detergents, oil-based detergents or similar products to clean surfaces prior to the application of a sealant. These products leave an oily, non-stick film which makes it difficult for the sealant to adhere to the surface. We recommend that you use acetone, industrial alcohol or similar products which evaporate completely without leaving any residue.
