while the solvent and emulsion-type cleaners are used for heavy-duty cleaning. The light-duty cleaners that are nontoxic and nonflammable must be used whenever possible. As mentioned previously, cleaners that can be effectively rinsed and neutralized must ... down into hand polishing and mechanical polishing. Figure 8-31. Protective paint finishes are the most effective means of preventing corrosion. The type and extent of soiling and the final desired appearance determine the cleaning method to be used…

understanding of the various types of metal finishes is necessary if they are to be properly maintained in the field and if the partial restoration techniques used in corrosion control are to be effective. Surface Preparation Original surface treatments ... none of the base metal is removed by cleaning. There are various chemical processes now in use, and the type used depends on the material being cleaned and the type of foreign matter being removed…
