What happens here

Spray Krud Kutter Concentrated Cleaner/Degreaser directly onto sections of the chalky metal door surface. Using a rag, vigorously scrub the areas to break down and remove the chalky film, grease, grime, oil, and wax. Once a section is scrubbed, rinse the rag in a bucket of clean water, wring it out, and wipe down the cleaned area to remove the Krud Kutter solution and any loosened chalk. It is crucial to frequently rinse the rag in clean water to prevent simply spreading the contaminants around. Repeat this process across the entire door surface until all chalkiness is visibly removed.

Goal: Thoroughly clean the entire chalky surface of the door using Krud Kutter cleaner/degreaser and a rag, followed by rinsing with clean water to remove all chalky residue.
