Rusted surfaces and even damaged pitted surfaces can generally be cleaned with the MAAS product but highly damaged areas may require chemical passivation. To chemically passivate stainless steel, Alvarado recommends the use of a citric acid product, CitriSurf2310, available from Stellar Solutions (www.citrisurf.com). This product is especially formulated to clean and passivate stainless steel and can be used in the field.
