I spilled PVC purple primer on my Jacuzzi tub, how do i clean it off and not ruin the surface finish?

Answer 1

Try Oatey Clear Cleaner. Follow directions on the container. Do a test on a small area first to make sure it doesn't harm the jacuzzi tub surface. I'd personally use the product in a hidden area first to make sure it doesn't remove the paint. If it removes the stain, but leaves a dull spot, you may be able to find a wax to buff it back into a nice sheen. Something from 3M would probably bring back the waxed look.

Answer 2

I have never seen anything that will remove it. The primer eats the surface of pipes so it probably ate your finish on the tub.

Answer 3

I would try Bar Keeper's Friend. Found in the store next to Ajax and Comet. In a gold can. It is less abrasive and actually polishes the finish. Good luck.

Answer 4

You won't. Using clear cleaner will only melt even more into the plastic. Sorry but it is ruined with out refinishing the whole tub.

Answer 5

you're no longer. It dissolved the vinyl and the dye is in there. perhaps the solar will bleach it somewhat by way of the years, yet i think of you have made an eternal replace to the exterior.

Answer 6

If you get something that works give us the answer. As far as I know that stuff (primer) eats into plastic, hope not.

Answer 8

Answer 9
