Always test surfaces before using WipeOut. To test, place a drop in an inconspicuous place and wait 15 minutes. Wipe away. If damage does not occur within this timeframe, your surface is likely compatible with WipeOut, although there are some exceptions (notably, iron, steel, and some natural stone surfaces will display damage after longer timeframes). For specific surface compatibility questions, please contact us!
