All five products from the previous trial were used at full strength at room temperature. Again, three of the five products were supplied to the lab in spray cans. Two products had to be applied using a manual spray pump. (The Ak225 does come in a spray can but was not available at the time of testing).

One part was sprayed with each contact cleaner for one minute and allowed to air dry. The part sprayed with the Gemtek product was briefly sprayed with compressed air. Parts were visually inspected and sent back to the client for inspection.
