How to remove rust stains from painted metal and wood
Ben did this job recently and we thought it would be useful to share the results of using Benz Oxy Cleanze to remove rust stains from two painted surfaces, one metal and the other wood.
Both jobs are small, and would not warrant a dedicated call out. But customers love these "little extras" – which make a big difference to the enjoyment of their home ((and to their appreciation of the contractor).
Ben's first job was to clean the rust stains from this downpipe, which was an eyesore (the black around the join is Hammerite, which the home owner will remove and repaint)

After treatment with Oxy Cleanze: nil rust stains – nil problemo!

Then Ben treated a small area of woodwork that had begun leaking rust stains next to the front door of the property:

The heavy rust at the top of the downpipe, around the join, took a couple of treatments but the rest came straight off.
Result – yet another happy home owner! :)
We hope this information is helpful.
Cheers,
Ben, Leo & Fiona

Thank you
Huge thanks to all our customers for your loyalty in making Benz your softwash product supplier of choice. We appreciate the fact that so many of our trade customers come back to us week after week, month after month, year after year.
And by way of practical appreciation, we've decided to no longer pro-actively seek domestic customers for our products and will not knowingly sell products to the customers of our trade customers, i.e. those who want to play around with d.i.y.

BREXIT – THE GOOD NEWS!
The good news is that there are ZERO customs duties to pay on Benz products.
Brexit has brought about many changes and challenges to business supply chains. And there's a lot of fear floating about regarding the excess taxes being levied on customers when ordering from EU-based companies.
So we want to reassure all our customers that we are able to continue supplying both our Irish and UK customers - with no additional duty, customs costs, or delays.
