WD-40 Specialist® Degreaser can be used to clean and degrease bare metal surfaces prior to painting. It is designed to remove oil, grease and contaminants without leaving a residue when used as directed.

For best results, ensure the surface is thoroughly clean and fully dry before applying any paint and always follow the instructions on the product label during use, and test on a small area if you are working with sensitive or treated surfaces.
