Product Overview:
Description
This specially formulated rust remover is a powerful, rust-fighting liquid created to meet the needs of auto restorers.
- Ideal Prep for Painting and Powder Coating
- Leaves Zinc Phosphate Coating
- Promotes Adhesion and Prevents Rust
It reaches even inaccessible areas, quickly dissolving iron oxide completely and leaving a zinc phosphate coating. Fast Etch can be sprayed, brushed, or used as a parts dip. It is non-toxic, non-flammable and reusable. This is not a primer. Treated surfaces should be wiped with PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) or thinner before priming and painting. Only the quart size comes with a sprayer.

Fast and easy
My go to on rusty parts. On heavy flaky rust, hit it with a needle scaler, wire brush on drill, acid etch and clean. Ready to paint, depending on the repair and finish you need. Fast Etch

Excellent product!
My 80 SS ElCamino sat lifeless for 3 years. When I popped the hood I knew it would be bad. I'll let the before and after photos speak for themselves :)

great stuff
This stuff will eliminate surface rust. When you follow the directions it will leave you a nice paintable surface that will not "re rust", At least for a few days, I cant speak for longer periods as I always applied epoxy within a few days.

Questions & Answers
Can I use this to clean brake calipers before painting? Would i need to rinse and prime after treatment?
You can use this if you need to dissolve rust first. This is not a primer. Treated surfaces should be then wiped with PRE Painting Prep (10041 Z) or thinner before priming and painting. Only the quart size comes with a sprayer.

How does the fast etch work on Chrome, I want to clean up some chrome motorcycle rims that have surface rust
Use some aluminum foil to remove the surface rust from chrome.

Do you have to apply the sealer in the gas tank after using this?
Yes, the surface must be sealed after using the Fast Etch. The Fast Etch alone will not hold up. We sell this in a kit for such applications which can be found here: https://www.eastwood.com/gas-tank-sealer-kits-eastwood-gas-tank-sealer.html

I treated a panel with fast etch several months ago. Is it safe to weld on the same panel? If not, how do I remove the zinc phosphate coating left behind?
Safe may not be the question.
Remove the self etch at the area of the piece you want to weld

how long will it protect from rust before i have to paint
It will only remove rust not stop it.
Once you’re finished with the rust dissolver, wipe the surface down with Eastwood PRE Painting Prep to remove any remaining loose rust. Then paint with rust encapsulator

I have panels that are welded on and I am seeing some rust showing between the two panels. Can I spray this and let run between the panels to stop the rust? The panels do have epoxy sealer on the outside now.
If the material is able to adhere to bare metal it will work.It will eliminate the rust.
