Rinse, Sand, and Apply
Once the area is prepared, you want to clean it with warm water that is mixed with the surface prep cleaner. Rinse the tub or sink with warm water before drying with a towel. Next, abrade the surface with steel wool. Make sure you protect your skin and eyes by using rubber gloves and proper eye wear. For spray application, you want to hold the spray can between eight and 10 inches from the surface that you're coating. Spray a light even coat to begin with before spraying other coats on the surface. You might need to spray a few coats in order to see a difference in the appearance of the tub or the sink. If you don't see the desired finish once the coating has been completed, then you might want to clean the surface again and start the application process over until you see the desired results. You need to wait 15 minutes after the proceeding coat before you apply a new one.
