TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Etch Wash (Gallon)

Basically, never got to try this because their first step product I purchased didn’t work. Make sure you need this because you are not able to return it!

Customer service team helped us find just what we needed to repaint my aluminum canoe; the product arrived earlier than expected, and the instructions were easy to follow.

the gallon of totalboat aluminum boat etch wash was lied on its side in the box and the cap was damaged in deleveryand it leaked in the box.

no stranger to acid washing aluminum i scothbrite pad cleaned the aluminum then used this i thought to etch it to prep for total boat epoxy primer. there was no reaction at all with the bare aluminum might as well have just sprayed it with water.. never again will i purchase this junk

Easy to use, epoxy coating went on very easily after treatment.

Fast shipping in 2 days. Made polishing aluminum OEM wheels much easier than scotchbrite pads and hours and hours of effort. Just hit the wheels with a couple of coats of this stuff after removing the clear coat, then polish with a buffing ball and metal polish.

I did not use your product for a boat application. Although I am trying to get acrylic resin to stick to aluminum honey comb for the purpose of makiing knife handles. I completely submerged the honeycomb in the etch for an hour. Did not work for me. Need a primer I think for this application.

This product was used on a pontoon boat after first stripping the old paint. After removing the paint and sanding to bright bare metal, I wiped the surface clean and applied a bottle of this product following the instructions. I followed up with an epoxy primer that bonded very strongly to the raw aluminum.
