Information and Directions for Use

Spit Shine is a high quality, high density acrylic polymer. When applied, Spit Shine bonds to the deice boots providing them with a tough flexible coating that does the following things:

  • Seals out oxygen which causes oxidation of the boots.
  • Seals out ozone which is very detrimental to the boots.
  • Shields the boots from ultraviolet rays of the sun.
  • Seals out fuel that may be spilled on the boots during fueling, protecting the boots from the drying effects of the fuel.
  • Seals in the natural solvents of the rubber so the boots stay soft and pliable for a much longer time.
  • Dries to a brilliant shine that adds beauty to your aircraft's appearance.
  • Pilot reports indicate that Spit Shine aids in the release of ice.
  • Bugs wipe off with a damp rag.
  • Spit Shine lasts a long time, 2 to 3 months with normal use.
  • Spit Shine dissapates static electricity.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

  1. Spray the boot down with Spit Shine DEICE Boot Cleaner Conditioner.
  2. Scrub the boot with a brush or cleaning pad to remove any oxidation or other impurities from the boot.
  3. Rinse the boot off completely with water.
  4. Let boot dry completely before applying Spit Shine sealer.
  5. Using a towel, apply a thin coat of Spit Shine DEICE Boot Sealer and Dressing to the boot in a single wiping motion.
  6. Let boot dry, then apply a second light coat.
  7. If any Spit Shine gets on a painted surface, merely wipe it off with a damp rag.
  8. A fresh coat may be applied at any time by simply wetting a towel with Spit Shine sealer and wiping it on.
  9. Each 3 to 4 months completely remove all the Spit Shine from the boots before adding more. This will eliminate excessive build-up.
