Surface Preparation

Before applying pool paint, it’s essential to remove dirt, oil and mineral deposits so that your coating bonds properly. Our Clean & Prep Solution is specially formulated to clean and degrease while simultaneously dissolving mineral deposits and increasing surface porosity for superior adhesion. Steps:

• Mix the Clean & Prep Solution with water according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• Dampen the entire surface with clean water.
• Apply the mixed solution evenly using a garden sprayer.
• Scrub thoroughly with a brush until foaming stops.
• Rinse well - continue until all foam is gone and the runoff water runs clear.

Note - Do not apply to surfaces that have already been sealed or stained.
