It has been some time since I used it in anger - I can't remember the instructions so it is best to check - but I seem to remember the usual don't let it dry out and wash off with water instruction and there's probably a warning about clean non-rusty steel too.

I'm pretty sure it isn't acid based - that seems to be a rust eating / killing ingredient
