Has anyone used aldi Deco metal paint? It says that surfaces should be stable, clean, dry and free of grease. Then clean surfaces thoroughly with metal cleaner before painting. Maybe I am just being dense but what is metal cleaner? They can not mean polish?

TIA.

A german-speaker may be along in a minute, but I imagine this is
something lost in translation. If it was really greasy and you cleaned
it with (say) white spirit (and let it dry) I would expect that to be
good enough.

I wonder if they mean a wire brush. Perhaps 'metal' refers to the brush
and not the surface to be painted. Just a thought.

I wouldn't use polish before painting.
