I got 0 results back when i searched muriatic or hydrochloric acid.



I used to clean pools and can tell you there were some awfully clean bare metal spots in the bed of my truck from the muriatic acid drips. The price difference makes this acid tempting compared to phosphoric. Body shops seem to use only phosphoric. Anybody know why? Are there any problems in using this to etch and/or clean metal before painting?
