Product Information
Full details
The Sealey Universal Maintenance Fluid (SCS0105) is a high-performance, multipurpose solution designed for professional mechanics, bodyshop technicians, and workshop managers who require a reliable way to protect, clean, and lubricate metal components. Its primary benefit lies in its moisture-displacing, rust-inhibiting formula that is completely silicone-free, ensuring it does not interfere with paintwork; however, users should note that the 5-litre bulk format requires separate containers for convenient application.

FAQs
Is this product safe to use on painted surfaces?
Yes, it is silicone-free, making it safe for use in bodyshops. However, it is always recommended to clean off excess fluid from painted body panels after use.
Can this be used on electrical connections?
Yes, it acts as a moisture displacer and can help prevent corrosion on metal electrical terminals.
Does this replace a dedicated degreaser?
It excels at light degreasing and cleaning, but for heavy, caked-on engine grease, you may require a more specialized heavy-duty industrial degreaser.
What is the best way to apply this fluid?
The most efficient method is to decant the fluid into a small handheld spray bottle for precise, controlled application on parts and tools.
Is it flammable?
Like most maintenance fluids of this type, it should be kept away from open flames, sparks, and high-heat sources.
How long does the rust protection last?
The duration depends on environmental factors, but the specialized inhibitors are designed to provide robust, long-lasting protection for indoor and protected outdoor metal surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Fluid appears to leave a film on glass or finished paint.
The product is designed to leave a protective film on metal; wipe away any overspray on non-target surfaces immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Spray bottle nozzle becomes clogged over time.
Flush the spray trigger mechanism with clean water or a mild solvent if the fluid starts to atomize poorly, or replace the spray head if the internal seals have hardened.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Safe for use in paint-sensitive bodyshop environments
- Highly effective at preventing rust and long-term corrosion
- Versatile application for both cleaning and lubrication

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the product arrives in a 5-litre drum, users must decant the fluid into smaller, chemical-resistant spray bottles for daily use. Ensure that the spray trigger is rated for use with multi-purpose solvent-based maintenance fluids to prevent seal degradation. When storing, keep the 5-litre container tightly sealed in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. The fluid is compatible with most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, though it is always best to perform a small spot test on plastics or rubbers if they are located near the metal being treated. Dispose of empty containers according to local hazardous waste regulations.
