Viper Renew vs. Viper 2 Acid Cleaner?

[PrimaDonna]

Anyone have any experience with these two products? Was looking on line and this is the first time I came across Viper 2. Trying to figure out the difference between the two and if they can be interchanged or are to be used for different situations.

Thanks.

While were at it .. is there a product to restore stainless steel appliances if any acid based cleaners accidentally comes in contact with it?

Viper Renew is great. 32 ounces per every gallon will pull anything off Tile/Grout. Never use on Natural Stone.

We use Shelia Bright for Stainless Steel touch up. I would highly recommend always taping down with plastic any Stainless Steel. We had one bad experience with the Renew getting on Stainless and will NEVER let it happen again. lol It pretty much will etch stainless right away.

32 ounces per gallon?

Dont mess around with SS.

Keep a roll of Husky Home Depot painters plastic on each truck.

And blue tape.


Takes far less time to cover it up than trying to fix it.

Dilution rate we use with Renew. 32 ounces diluted with 1 gal. water usually accomplishes 500sq ft. +

Barkeeps Friend is good for restoring stainless steel. It's a powder and comes in a container like Comet.

It is much easier to do the work to prevent problems than fix them. I learned the hard way.

Not every job needs the most powerful aggressive solution. Viper 2 is a milder version of Viper Renew, a milder form of acid plus won't be as harmful on metal.
