It de-waxes, etches, and cleans bare fiberglass in a single step, leaving the surface prepared for painting. Because the formula combines a chemical cleaning agent with an abrasive silica grit component, it addresses both surface contamination (wax, residue, mold-release agents) and mechanical surface profiling (etching) that painted fiberglass needs for good coating adhesion. This product is supplied in a 1 gallon container and is intended for use on bare fiberglass hull surfaces prior to applying primer or paint. As a genuine Pettit product, it is designed to work as part of a proper pre-paint prep process on fiberglass boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11509506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass Dewaxer \/ Hull Surface Prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of cleaning agents and silica grit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bare fiberglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e De-waxing, etching, cleaning, and surface prep before painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725469002593\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thinners \u0026amp; Solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer 11509506 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer, part number 11509506, is used to de-wax, etch, and clean bare fiberglass surfaces to prepare them for painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size container does this come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit part number 11509506 is supplied in a 1 gallon container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this product contain any abrasives?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Pettit Fiberglass Dewaxer 11509506 is formulated as a blend of cleaning agents and silica grit, which gives it both cleaning and etching action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this just a cleaner, or does it also etch the surface?\u003c\/strong\u003e It does both.
