Stop salt corrosion and damage from salt or chlorine on metal with Everbrite Coatings.
​
Do you live near the ocean? Living by the ocean is wonderful, walks on the beach, beautiful sunsets and other special reasons why you love the ocean. Unfortunately, salt air causes ugly corrosion, rust and pitting on metal. You can stop the corrosion, and make your property more valuable.
​
Everbrite Coatings will prevent salt corrosion, oxidation and damage on fixtures, tools, boats, window frames, fishing gear, diving gear and much more.
Application is easy- Brush on, roll on, use an applicator, or spray on with a paint sprayer. These one part, self leveling, crystal clear coating will protect from salt damage and corrosion.

If your stainless steel is already corroded or rusty, clean the surface see below for full restoration instructions.
Is Salt Corrosion Attacking Your Wheels?
​
Winter can be one of the most detrimental times for your wheels, as well as metal surfaces on your car, truck or bike. Road salts and snow removal chemicals can corrode, pit or stain your wheels, chrome bumpers and other metal. Don’t let winter damage your wheels any longer—protect them from Road Salts with ProtectaClear. ProtectaClear is a clear protective coating that is tough and durable, is highly resistant to salts and chlorines and will keep the metal on your ride looking freshly polished. Metal protected with ProtectaClear will clean up easily with mild soap and water.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Restoring Stainless Steel
1. First, Clean Off the Rust
​
​This can be done chemically, ERW-XL Stainless Steel Cleaner will clean rust off stainless steel. Brushed stainless steel can be cleaned manually with synthetic steel wool pads or very fine sand paper. (Do not use real steel wool or it can cause even more rust.) A no-scratch cleanser like BonAmi can also be used but it is more messy. If you use an abrasive, make sure to clean WITH the grain. Do not use abrasives or cleansers on stainless steel that is not brush finished.
2. Neutralize
​
​If an acid-based cleaner is used, the surface must be neutralized. Many stainless steel cleaners are acid-based. Pickling and Passivation are also acid processes that must be neutralized. Neutralizing can be done with EZ Prep Cleaner and Neutralizer or with baking soda and water. Rinse afterward.
3. Solvent Wipe
​
​The final step to preparing stainless steel before application of ProtectaClear is to wipe it down with a clean solvent like xylene, denatured alcohol or 99% isopropyl alcohol.​
4. Seal and Protect
​
​ProtectaClear is a tough, clear protective coating that has excellent adhesion on stainless steel. It is highly resistant to salts and chlorines to protect stainless steel from rust, corrosion and tea-staining. It is very natural looking and practically invisible on stainless steel. Wipe ProtectaClear on with a lint-free cloth, a clear coat applicator pad, solvent rated paint brush, foam brush, high density foam roller or ProtectaClear can be sprayed on.
