Abstract: A fine rinse solution that removes fine particulate, metal-based contaminants and mineral contaminants from man-made surfaces such as painted body panels of an automobile, comprising a rinse agent solution that provides an active rinse phase which sequesters and chelates all of the fine mineral and metal-based particulate acidic and benign deposits from the surface by simply applying and rinsing off the solution. The subsequent oxide seasoning on the finish is left intact, forming a substrate to which the rinse agent can bond, sequester and neutralize acidic mineral and metal-based particulate. Molecules in the rinse agent of the invention chemically bond to embedded oxides in and on the surface forming stable complexes on the paint finish. As fresh deposits arrive on the surface of the finish, the unsaturated stable complexes act to further sequester mineral and metal-based deposits and neutralize, or buffer, acidic deposits.
