    I've used it several times. Don't recall doing anything special. Wiped it on. Let it sit a little. Wiped it off. It does its thing via chemical reaction. So rubbing or polishing isn't required. Also recommended to neutralize with water or soap. I also wore gloves. Just based on the smell, didn't think I wanted it on my bare skin.

    Found these directions with a search. Pretty much what I remembered. Now that's scary. https://www.mplso2.com/assets/downloads/ARC-302.pdf

    I have used it. It works great, even on a 347.

    I took a piece of cardboard and made a cutout to go around where the pipes exit the body to protect the paint. I rinsed it sown with soapy water.

    Gloves and safety glasses. I wouldn't want that stuff on my paint, skin, or eyes.
