This practice is used to ensure that candidate aircraft surface cleaners do not leave a residue which, on drying, would leave a permanent stain requiring polishing to remove.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice describes the procedure used to determine the effect of cleaners on unpainted aircraft surfaces. Visual observation is used for determining streaking or permanent stains which require polishing to remove.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information.
