FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean Spray 32 oz — USA-made Rust & Tarnish Remover for Aluminum, Brass, Stainless | Non-Abrasive, Fast-Acting

FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean is a 32 oz USA-made spray that quickly removes rust, tarnish, lime scale, and grease from metals and preps surfaces for polishing.

Designed and blended in the USA with advanced German ingredients, this spray formula targets corrosion and stubborn deposits so your metal pieces are ready for a follow-up polish or protective wax. It’s formulated to be non-abrasive and non-flammable, making it suitable for many metal and mixed-material surfaces where aggressive acid cleaners would be too harsh.

How fast will FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean remove rust and tarnish?

Most light-to-moderate rust, water stains, and tarnish begin to lift within 30 seconds of application; heavier deposits may need brief repeat treatments. After treatment, rinse thoroughly and consider applying a polish or sealant to maintain the finish.

• Visible removal often starts in 30 seconds on common rust spots
• Repeat spray-rinse cycles speed removal for stubborn areas
• Rinse and dry before applying polish for best long-term results

Which materials can I safely use this pre-clean on?

The formula is especially effective on aluminum but was developed for a wide range of materials including stainless steel, brass, copper, glass, fiberglass, painted surfaces, tile, acrylic, and many plastics. Always test an inconspicuous area on delicate or painted finishes before full use.

• Works on aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel
• Compatible with glass, fiberglass, acrylic, and many plastics
• Safe on painted surfaces when spot-tested first

What makes FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean different from acid-based cleaners?

Instead of harsh acids, this product uses a gentle organic salt formulation that strips grime and oxidation without abrasive scrubbing or etching the base metal. The non-abrasive, non-flammable chemistry reduces risk of surface damage while still delivering strong cleaning power.

• Non-abrasive—preserves metal surface integrity
• Non-flammable—safer for household and workshop use
• Formulated to prep surfaces for subsequent polish or wax protection

How should I use FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean for best results?

Spray the affected area evenly, wait 30 seconds to a minute for the formula to work, then rinse thoroughly with water and dry. Follow with a FLITZ metal polish or protective wax to extend the clean finish and reduce re-tarnishing.

• Spray, wait, then rinse and dry
• Repeat brief treatments for heavy corrosion
• Follow up with a polish or wax for lasting protection

Who is this for: FLITZ Metal Pre-Clean is ideal for homeowners, mechanics, marine and RV owners, metalworkers, restorers, and anyone who needs a fast, reliable way to remove rust and prepare metal surfaces for a high-quality finish. It’s particularly useful when you need a powerful but gentle alternative to acid-based cleaners and want a product made with U.S. manufacturing standards.
