    Instructions

    Mixing & Application


    • EZ-Prep Pro is a concentrated solution and must be diluted with water. 
    • Water and EZ-Prep Pro should be pre-measured before combining. 
    • DO NOT use a hose to fill water into EZ-Prep Pro as it will create constant bubbling. 
    • Always tighten lid thoroughly after use. 
    • The formula for proper dilution should be Water: 
      EZ-Prep Pro Example: 2:1 equals 2-parts water to 1-part EZ-Prep Pro 


    General Concrete Cleaning 

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 2:1 with water (2 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro)
    2.  Dampen concrete with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle. 
    3. Apply evenly the 2:1 diluted product across surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer. 
    4. While still wet with product, rub concrete with a stiff bristle-broom. 
    5. Before EZ-Prep Pro dries, rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer. 


    Surface Preparation on Exterior Concrete 

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 2:1 with water (2 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro)
    2. Dampen concrete with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle. 
    3. Apply evenly 2:1* diluted product across surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer. 
    4. While still wet with product, rub concrete with a stiff bristle broom.
    5. Before EZ-Prep Pro dries, power wash with minimum 3,000 PSI (21,000 kPa) pressure washer equipped with a turbo-tip.  


    Surface Preparation on Interior Concrete 

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 2:1 with water (2 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro)
    2. Dampen concrete with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle.
    3. Apply evenly 2:1* diluted product across surface of concrete. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer.
    4. While still wet with product, rub concrete with black pad on a rotational floor machine 
    5. Keep floor wet with frequent rinsing.
    6. Mop residue until rinse water is clear or utilize water extraction equipment. 


    Cleaning Overlay Prior to Coloring or Sealing

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro) 
    2. Dampen concrete with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or a garden hose trigger nozzle. 
    3. Apply evenly 4:1 diluted product across surface of overlay. Best results are achieved by spraying from an acid-resistant pump-up sprayer. 
    4. While still wet with product, gently brush surface with a soft bristle broom 
    5. Before EZ-Prep Pro dries, gently rinse with a garden hose or power wash with a fan-tipped pressure washer. 


    Using as an Efflorescence Remover or Antique Release Remover

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 3:1 with water (3 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro) 
    2.  Wet effected area with water from pump-up sprayer or sponge. 
    3. Brush or sponge 3:1 diluted product onto vertical edges of effected area first. 
    4. Spray or sponge 3:1 diluted product from acid-resistant pump-up sprayer onto surface. 
    5. While still wet with product, gently brush surface with a soft bristle brush.
    6. Rinse immediately. Do not allow diluted product to stand on the surface. 


    Cleaning Stamping Tools and Molds

    1. Dilute EZ-Prep Pro 4:1 with water (4 parts water to 1 part EZ-Prep Pro) 
    2. Dampen stamping tools or molds with water from mist of pump-up sprayer or sponge. 
    3. Spray 4:1 diluted product from acid-resistant pump-up sprayer onto tools or molds. 
    4. While still wet with EZ-Prep Pro, gently brush surface with a stiff bristle brush. 
    5. Before EZ-Prep Pro dries, completely rinse surface


    Cleaning Up

    1. Simply rinse with water


    Disposal

    1. Contact your local government household hazardous waste coordinator for information on disposal of unused product


    NOTE: stronger dilution rates may be required for adequate profile. Power- troweled concrete may require EZ-Prep Pro to be used straight. In some cases, proper surface preparation will require mechanical surface preparation (e.g. grinding, shot blasting), such as for ColorTec™ Coatings, DK Flake, and DK Metallic systems.
