Clean soft metals with chemical cleaning solutions using the least intrusive <br /> 4o method. Test first to assure that they do not damage the metal or its finish. Do <br /> 41 not clean soft metal surfaces with harsh abrasive methods. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 III-B-16. Repaint architectural metal surfaces, when needed, using paint that is appropriate <br /> 44 for the use. (Staff can provide guidance as necessary.) <br /> 45 <br /> 46 III-B-17.
