Trust the 3 Step!

Regret not getting any before or after pictures but I cleaned, prepped and sealed the door sills of my 2000 toyota 4runner underneath the weather stripping because an excess amount of undesired rust had been discovered. My application process could have been made easier with the right tool but that was on me. Once this stuff dried, it is highly scratch resistant which is fantastic considering my feet tend to graze over this area, probably causing the rust in the first place. I'd trust KBS over any other kind of "Paint Over Rust" that's out there. Trust the 3 step process!

Super clean beyond belief!

I definitely reccomend this product. I rebuilt a 40 year old boat and decided to clean the exterior with this product. It took off years of oxidation very quickly too might I add. Minimal scrubbing. I pulled all my old pinstriping off and this product removed all the old glue left behind with ease. It took off old algea marks, rust, and scuffs. Unbelievable! I definitely recommend using this product outside and with a mask.

Better than simple green

Great cleaner and must before painting. Avoids fumes of cleaners like acetone.

Looks to be Timesaver

Prepping metal for paint is my least favorite thing. My process might be long but seems to be the best I have right now. First is Muratic acid to remove rust and mill scale. Second step is soak in baking soda to neutralize the acid. After a rinse a light surface rust forms almost instant. So into the blast cabinet to give a quick cleaning. This is very time consuming. I tried to skip this and found some paint problems down the road. After finding KBS Klean I found that my parts feel much cleaner after soaking in a tub of water: KBS Klean 10:1. Flash rust was almost if not completely eliminated. Before my parts had this slick or slime feel to them. When removing the parts from the solution I could clearly see this layer and rub it off. The pressure wash with water removed this layer. Paint so far seems to be holding up just fine.

Worked Great.

We did Two (2) 50gal Galvanized Steel Fuel Tanks out of a 1960 Chris Craft Constellation. We had to make a Rotisserie to spin and flip the tanks because they were so big and heavy. The Products worked as advertised and the tanks came out awesome!

Only steel cleaner I use.

I adjust the mix to thoroughly clean anything I can throw at it.

Necessary

The clean product is absolutely necessary when using the diamond finish on metal of any sort especially bronze/brass otherwise you’ll have adhesion failure

Really good cleaner

Before using KBS Klean I was cleaning parts with either brake parts cleaner or simple green. Now using KBS Klean it's much easier to use, and less toxic, plus the parts come out cleaner.

Use KBS Klean after I wire brush/wheel and sand my chassis and parts. Then I use the Klean prior to Rust Blast to get the Oil and grit off so the Rust Blast can do it's job. Then use Rust Seal and Top Coat for a good protective coating.

Serious cleaner for so much

I bought this for prepping galvanized steel, but now I keep some 1/5 mixed cleaner around for much more. My home renovation calls for spray paint a lot, this does a lot better or more that TSP or soap. Glad I have plenty for miscellaneous, plus future big metal prep jobs.

Q: Can I use KBS Klean full strength or is KBS Klean always suppose to be diluted?

Asked by: DaveTheMan - 8/29/2013

A: KBS Klean is designed to be diluted. A full strength dilution would be 1 part water with 1 part KBS Klean. But you can go up to 10 parts water and 1 part KBS Klean depending on your job.

Q: Do I need to protect my windshield from getting KBS Klean on? I am planning to re-paint the top of my truck?

Asked by: Don - 6/3/2019

A: KBS Klean will not harm a glass windshield and is used to clean windshields of nasty bug guts and the like. Most people then use a glass cleaner to achieve a streak free glass surface.
