Save me some problems Loren. About how long should I leave the easy off on before I hit it with the water hose?

Thanks, Mike

My experience has been that you spray it on, let it sit about 5 min, then you have to scrub the anodizing off using steel wool.  Make sure you are wearing rubber gloves when you do it.  Then you can hose it all off after you have scrubbed the anodizing off.  It comes off pretty easily, but still requires a little persuasion.

Brian's about right.  Just keep an eye on it. Once the anodizing is off, then it is time to start sanding. The further it is sanded out with finer paper, the better it will buff out.
