Product Information
Full details
The Quinton Hazell QH1 Maintenance Spray is an essential tool for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners looking for a reliable, multipurpose solution for mechanical upkeep. It excels at lubricating, cleaning, and protecting metal components against corrosion, thanks to its specialized PTFE additive formula. While it is highly effective at loosening seized parts and providing long-term lubrication, users should note that it is primarily formulated for ferrous metals and may not be suitable for all plastics or specialized rubber components.

FAQs
Can I use this on plastic surfaces?
While intended for ferrous metals, it is generally safe for most surfaces, but it is always recommended to perform a small spot test on non-metal materials first.
Is the protective film permanent?
No, it forms a temporary anti-corrosive coating that may need to be reapplied after heavy cleaning or long-term exposure to harsh elements.
Does this product conduct electricity?
As a maintenance spray, you should avoid spraying it directly onto sensitive electrical contacts or circuits.
How far should I hold the can from the surface?
Hold the can approximately 15 to 20cm away for the best balance of coverage and penetration.
Is it safe to use on painted surfaces?
While generally safe, wipe off any overspray immediately if the lubricant lands on decorative or painted finishes.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not misting properly
Remove the nozzle and rinse it with a solvent or warm water; ensure the aperture is clear before reattaching.
Difficulty loosening very stubborn bolts
Apply the spray generously and allow it to sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow for deeper penetration into the threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, shake the QH1 can thoroughly before every use to mix the PTFE additives evenly. When applying, maintain a distance of 15 to 20cm from the target surface. This distance ensures a controlled, even application, allowing the fluid to penetrate effectively or form a consistent protective film. Always ensure the area is well-ventilated during application. For storage, keep the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the chemical integrity of the formulation.
