Cleaning solution for cleaning and/or wetting metal surfaces, comprising at least one acid, a first surfactant, which is an alkyl-poly(ethyleneglycol-co-propyleneglycol)-ether having a cloud point of ≤25° C., a second surfactant, which is selected from the group consisting of i) an alkyl-poly(ethyleneglycol-co-propyleneglycol)-ether having a cloud point of ≥30° C., ii) an alkyl-polyethyleneglycol-ether having a cloud point of ≥45° C.
wherein the cloud points are determined according to European Standard EN 1890:2006, item 8.2 of German Version, with the modification that 10 wt % H.sub.2SO.sub.4 is used as solvent and that the concentration of the surfactant is 1000 mg/L.

The problem of the present invention is to provide a plating stack (a stack of plating films) for applying on surface of conductor circuits or the like, the plating stack can maintain high bond strength when solder is bonded on that and can be produced stably.

In the method for producing a plating stack of the present invention, a plating layer A mainly composed of a second metal is deposited on an object to be plated S mainly composed of a first metal by a substitution reaction, then a plating layer B mainly composed of palladium is deposited on the plating layer A, and then a plating layer C mainly composed of nickel is deposited on the plating layer B by a redox reaction. The first metal is, for example, copper. The second metal is, for example, gold, platinum or silver.

Electroless underwater metal plating of a surface of fixed or floating structure is accomplished by transferring to the surface metal ions from a metal precursor in a solid or semisolid electrolyte that is pressed against and moved over a submerged surface. Metal ions from a metal salt blended in the solid or semisolid material plate the underwater substrate.
