Crystal Clear 550

Professional Restoration for Alkaline Stains & Stage 1 Glass Corrosion

Crystal Clear 550 (CC550) is a professional-grade glass clearing agent formulated to dissolve alkaline residue, iridescent surface staining, and Stage 1 corrosion on uncoated, clear, and float glass surfaces. Designed for restoration work, CC550 removes surface-level mineral deposits and staining to restore optical clarity and brilliance.

When used properly, Crystal Clear 550 can dramatically improve the appearance of affected glass, leaving windows sparkling clean and optically clear. However, CC550 is specifically intended for Stage 1 surface corrosion only. It will not correct Stage 2 corrosion and may expose deeper, existing damage once surface deposits are removed. Proper inspection before use is essential.

Important Inspection Notice

Crystal Clear 550 removes surface mineral deposits and damaged glass material associated with Stage 1 corrosion. Stage 2 corrosion is typically not correctable using chemical treatments and may become more visible after clearing. Always inspect glass thoroughly—inside and out—before treatment to identify potential damage and determine suitability for restoration.
