Has anyone used aldi Deco metal paint? It says that surfaces should be stab le, clean, dry and free of grease. Then clean surfaces thoroughly with meta l cleaner before painting. Maybe I am just being dense but what is metal cl eaner? They can not mean polish?
TIA.
A german-speaker may be along in a minute, but I imagine this is something lost in translation. If it was really greasy and you cleaned it with (say) white spirit (and let it dry) I would expect that to be good enough.
Thanks.
I wonder if they mean a wire brush. Perhaps 'metal' refers to the brush and not the surface to be painted. Just a thought.
I wouldn't use polish before painting.
Cheers

I always google things I dont know, but just done that and nothing came up as a metal cleaner on screwfix. i would say use a strong solution of soda crystals and maybe an all purpose cleaner to remove any grease.But here's a link may help you
