How Much Marine Clean
Team:
For those who have used Marine Clean, how much should I buy? I do not want to make two trips, if necessary. Also, did you use it 1:1 or what ratio did you use? Also, how long would you let it sit, prior to washing/rinsing it off? I have quite a bit of build up on the engine side of the chassis and the rear diff. Mahalo!

Re: How Much Marine Clean
i never used it , i just got a wire wheel and some abrasive discs for the frame and used regular old diesel to degrease, or brake cleaner when i would find it on sale and a good power washer

Re: How Much Marine Clean
Marine Clean is the best degreaser you will ever use. Use it full strength and 40 years of built up crap falls off like butter. I don't know the quantity to use, I always have some on hand though.

Re: How Much Marine Clean
i thought it was to expensive to use as a general cleaner/degreaser. I just used it after blasting and before metal prep. I spray to soaking and let it sit 10 minutes before rinsing it and then putting on metal prep.

Re: How Much Marine Clean
I bought a gallon. I use it full strength in some places, and keep a spray bottle mixed with water for general use. It is a very good degreaser.

Re: How Much Marine Clean
I've never used it, but the directions online say mix 1:1 for heavy, 1:5 for moderate, and 1:10 for light cleaning.
