Use on cast iron steel and aluminum to clean and properly etch the metal for coatings. The phosphoric acid will etch the metal and provide an excellent surface etch for paint adhesion. Use on frames, sheet metal engine blocks and suspension components after blasting. Do not apply to painted surfaces, chrome, plastic or glass.

Best stuff for paint prep!
This is the stuff you need! It really makes the difference on sandblasted metals....and a little gos a long long way...if your doing a small job a quart spray bottle will suffice...i got the gallon and maybe used 10oz on 4 steel rims...

good step
does good job of prepping for paint. I used it on a truck frame after blasting and wiped it down and it turned it a gray color. I haven't painted it yet as am welding brackets and boxing plates to it. I will primer it after.

after sanding to bare metal, should i use this or fest etch before epoxy primer? how long can i wait before spraying the epoxy primer. the car is garage kept and will not be exposed to the elements before applying the epoxy primer. thanks!
If the car is going to sit for a period of time, you can utilize the After Blast or preferably Fast Etch. You just need to be sure to wipe these products down with a good PRE cleaner before applying the Epoxy or other coatings.

What happens if it drys on metal how can it be removed..crusty white residue..
Neutralize the Acid: Use a cleaning solvent like Eastwood Pre Painting Prep to neutralize the acid present in After Blast. This step ensures that no residue remains on the surface . After neutralizing, wipe off the residue using a clean, lint-free cloth. This will leave the surface clean and ready for further treatment or coating. If still "crusty" you may need to sand and repeat.

Can I order this by the case? If so, how many come in a case?
You would have to order as 4, but it is packaged in the warehouse as 4 to a case. A discount code can always be applied also.

I never use self etch.
Epoxy primer is A-OK

What happens to the creases, crevices and, those places that are impossible to wipe After Blast off? For instance a hood hinge with multiple areas and inside the spring that are totally inaccessible to wipe this off?
Try to use a bristle brush to remove

Could this product be used in a motorcycle tank, say after cleaning it with a vinegar or other cleaner solution to prevent flash rusting? If so, would it then be OK to add fuel to the tank? ... Is this fuel resistant?
you may want to look at our Gas tank kits.

Will this product provide long term rust prevention? I am restoring a slot machine and need something to coat the metal parts of the mechanism after glass blast. I will also need to lubricate moving parts.
Rust Encapsulator Platinum for rust.
Look at Tufoil (Not an Eastwood Product)
