Stewart Systems EkoEtch
EkoEtch Aluminum Etch is a concentrated combination acid based detergent and degreaser. EkoEtch removes scale, corrosion, light oil, processing fluids and brightens aluminum. EkoEtch is non-hazardous, water reducible and non-flammable. Use EkoEtch to prepare both old and new aluminum surfaces before applying Stewart Systems EkoPrime or EkoPoxy Primer/Sealers. On old aluminum it is recommended to clean the surfaces first with Stewart Systems EkoClean. Once the surface has been treated with EkoClean, it should be primed within 8 hours for maximum corrosion protection. Available in Quarts only

Shipped quicker than getting it direct from manufacturer and was even a little less expensive.

A good product, quickly etches the metals surface. Works well in conjunction with the de-greaser. Follow the instructions on the bottle and be sure to pressure wash parts to remove the etching material.

Q: Can the Stewart Systems Ekotech Aluminum Etch / Cleaner be used to clean old paint to be painted over?

Per Vendor: No, this product is only used for aluminum. The product you are looking for is the EKOClean. P/N# 09-03089 (Quart) or P/N# 09-03090 (Gallon).

Q: Does this product require a sealer after use or can the area be treated with a light lube like acf 50 once a year?

Aluminum should not be etched unless it is going to be primed. It is better protected with its alclad coating on it. The etch will remove that and the alloy aluminum under it is more susceptible to corrosion.
