Once opened, the shelf life is reduced to approximately two and a half years. How to Use F9 BARC Concrete Rust Remover: Pre-cleaning: Power wash the concrete using a commercial-grade pressure washer and surface cleaner. After initial pre-cleaning, let the concrete dry completely. Apply F9 BARC through a pump-up sprayer liberally and evenly to the entire pad of concrete. Do not "spot spray" the first application. Let the concrete dry. Stains will disappear as the concrete dries. If spots remain, repeat steps 3 and 4.

Agritate with broom and rinse LIGHTLY with pressure washer (NOT surface cleaner) to remove the remaining salts.
