If you are going to use it, have a large enough tub to submerge the entire piece to avoid etch lines like I got soaking my fenders one side at a time. The etch will be uniform and if rough enough, supply the "tooth" primers want to grab the metal (substrate) That would eliminate needing to hand sand with 80 grit.
He mentions a stronger muriatic acid and Lowe's sells it I believe but he uses it full strength in video.

I didn't watch the whole thing, cause I can't stand all the hype and BS. If it is already diluted, it may be fine, but don't leave it unattended for long...keep checking it often and remove as soon as it is clean.

He uses the acid full strength in a spray bottle wiping with paint brush then 20% vinegar in a spray bottle then uses water from a hose pipe. Worth watching.
