3. Setup and Preparation

1. Shake Can Thoroughly: Before each use, shake the can vigorously for 10-15 seconds to ensure proper mixing of ingredients.
2. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be cleaned is free of loose debris. For heavily soiled surfaces, a preliminary wipe with a damp cloth may be beneficial.
3. Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes.
4. Test Small Area: For sensitive surfaces or unknown materials, test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and prevent potential damage.

4. Operating Instructions

Application:

1. Hold Can Upright: Hold the can approximately 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) from the surface to be cleaned.
2. Spray Evenly: Apply a light, even mist over the entire surface. Avoid over-saturating the area to prevent drips.
3. Wipe Immediately: Using a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel, wipe the sprayed surface immediately. For larger glass surfaces, a squeegee can be used for optimal results.
4. Buff to Shine: For an optimal streak-free finish, buff the surface with a second clean, dry, lint-free cloth.

Recommended Surfaces:

• Windows (Residential and Automotive)
• Windshields
• Mirrors
• Chrome Fixtures and Trim
• Stainless Steel Appliances and Surfaces
• Other non-porous, hard surfaces.

5. Maintenance and Storage

1. Clean Tools: Regularly clean cloths and squeegees used with the product to prevent residue buildup and ensure effective cleaning.
2. Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, open flames, and other heat sources. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 120°F (49°C).
3. Disposal: Dispose of empty cans according to local regulations for aerosol products. Do not puncture or incinerate the can.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem: Streaks or Haze Remain After Cleaning

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Too much product applied: Use a lighter, more even mist. Over-application can lead to excess residue.
• Dirty cloth/squeegee: Always use a fresh, clean, lint-free cloth or squeegee. Dirty tools can redeposit grime.
• Not buffed properly: Ensure a second, dry cloth is used for final buffing to achieve a polished, streak-free finish.
• Extremely dirty surface: For heavily soiled surfaces, pre-clean with a damp cloth to remove loose dirt before applying the glass cleaner.

Problem: Product Not Spraying

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Clogged nozzle: Remove the nozzle and rinse it thoroughly under warm water. Reattach and test.
• Can is empty: If the can feels light and no product is dispensed, it may be empty and requires replacement.
