XY Xylene Solvent™ Specialty Clean

XY Xylene Solvent is a powerful cleaning agent that removes tough stains and prepares surfaces for sealing. This solvent can dissolve and lift stubborn materials such as tar, grease, and certain types of paint from hardscape surfaces. XY Xylene Solvent is also excellent for thinning and cleaning up solvent-based sealers, making it a versatile tool for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike. While highly effective, it should be used with caution and proper safety equipment, as it is a strong chemical. For best results, apply XY Xylene Solvent to the affected area, allow it to dwell briefly, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
