Aquanett is a powerful, biodegradable, water washable remover and cleaner that strips out new, old and encrusted oils from exterior wooden surfaces blackened by UV rays and also cleans severely weathered wood.
Free from solvents and paraffin, Aquanett is suitable for environmentally sensitive areas as its gel consistency means it will not run, making it perfect for use on vertical surfaces.
Easy to apply and fast-acting, Aquanett quickly and efficiently removes the mill glaze, which is created in the manufacturing process, from the surface of new wood, thus improving the penetration and adhesion of a finish.
