Starpower
STARPOWER is a remarkably versatile multiple use concentrate that redefines the term "all-purpose". Although it is water-based, not solvent-based, and is truly environmentally safe and friendly, its performance still fully lives up to our company slogan, "Delivering Solutions". Starpower is sold in a concetrate form and at full strength it is strong enough to remove graffitti yet at a 40:1 delution with tap water it is gentle enough to wash you car without removing the wax finish.

TO USE STARPOWER :
-
Refer to the Dilution Chart on the container to determine the level of strength needed for the type of cleaning to be done (e.g. greasy engines, machinery, rust stains). Note that the 1:2 ratio is the most common one recommended.
-
Spray STARPOWER on the dirty area and wipe the dirt and grime away with a cloth. When cleaning a larger area, using a brisk circular motion (Turbulence) works best.
-
For hard surfaces like metal or concrete it is usually best to use a 3M-type scrub pad instead of a cloth (Turbulence). Then rinse the area with water or wipe it with a cloth to remove the loosened substance that was being cleaned.
-
For really stubborn areas, it may be necessary to let them soak in STARPOWER for a while (Time) before they can be cleaned. In some cases a less diluted solution will be necessary.
-
For painted surfaces, test a small inconspicuous area first to determine the colorfastness of the paint. In some cases, color will show up on your cloth, but it may only be due to the removal of an outer layer of faded and oxidized old paint, revealing the bright fresh paint beneath the surface. On painted surfaced, rub gently, especially if you are using a scrub pad, because you could remove the paint from the surface if you rub too hard. If painted areas are soaked with STARPOWER for an extended period of time, it is likely that the paint will be broken down and removed. Therefore, do not let this happen unless you wish to remove the paint.
-
When removing graffiti from a painted surface, rubbing too hard will remove the graffiti, but may also remove the paint from the surface. Keep in mind that the graffiti and the surface will be cleaned layer by layer, like the layers of an onion. So watch the progress of the graffiti's removal closely to prevent the removal of the paint underneath the graffiti.
