Kirker Automotive DTM PREP Acid Etch Wash - 6860

Kirker Acid Etch Wash 6860 – Superior Metal Preparation Solution

 Kirker’s Acid Etch Wash 6860 is a premium-quality metal treatment designed to promote superior adhesion and corrosion resistance for automotive refinishing projects. This specially formulated self-etching solution effectively cleans, conditions, and preps bare metal surfaces, ensuring a strong bond for primers, paints, and coatings.

DTM PREP is an acid-based conditioner designed to chemically etch bare metal substrates for improved adhesion while also converting light surface rust and protecting against future corrosion.

An excellent choice for use after sandblasting, DTM PREP neutralizes flash rust and turns surface oxidation into iron phosphate – a dark gray-colored conversion coating that protects metal from further corrosion while it’s waiting to be coated with DIRECT PRIME DTM 2K Urethane Primer Surfacer, ENDURO PRIME DTM Epoxy Primer or another direct to metal primer.

Key Features:

• Powerful Metal Conditioning – Removes surface contaminants, rust, and oxidation to create an optimal foundation for coatings.
• Enhanced Adhesion – Provides a strong etch to improve the adhesion of primers and topcoats on steel, aluminum, and galvanized surfaces.
• Corrosion Resistance – Helps prevent future rust formation by neutralizing surface oxidation.
• Versatile Application – Ideal for use in automotive, industrial, and restoration projects.
• Easy to Use – Simple application process for professional-quality results.

For best performance, follow up with Kirker’s recommended primers and coatings after application. Kirker Acid Etch Wash 6860 is an essential step for ensuring durability and long-lasting finishes in your painting projects.
