Product Variants
Helios Restauration Medium
Classical cleaning agent for oil pictures. Note: pre-test absolutely necessary to check the re-solubility of colors. Use extremely carefully. Use turpentine oil immediately after the application of Helios to remove the remaining Helios carefully from the picture surface (tends to yellow!). Valuable pictures should only be cleaned by a specialist! Add a little Helios on a lint-free cloth and gently clean the image by moving the cloth in circles. Stop immediately once the cloth dyes.
