Other tones use tinted Classic 3 for maintenance; Sansin specifies a pigment dosage of at least one-quarter formula per gallon. Follow the system’s technical directions.

For maintenance cleaning, use the label dilution, test first and rinse thoroughly. Let the surface dry before coating; cleaning does not replace stripping or sanding when needed.
