I am impressed and grateful for the professional advice repeatedly given on this site.
I followed your instructions for the Muriatic wash on my aluminum floor (wish I woulda thought to take pic), turned out amazingly clean, smooth, followed with Duplicolor Bed Armour, and very happy with outcome.

I used the brush and small roller that comes with the kit. I live rurally with not an abundance of products available locally .. The kit was only option I had to purchase the gallon . I have a 2H gooseneck,,so brush n roller were fine.
Grad's instructions were top notch for both etching and painting the bedliner.

I did mine about a month ago and I agree with Gard's instructions....excellent! I'm so happy with how it turned out. I took pictures before, during and after, but can't figure out how to post them.

I finally caved in after asking Gard a zillion times exactly how to go about this process,and I coated 2 of our trailer floors.The first one was a 2H Sooner,and I used the plain Duplicolor truck bed liner.the second was a larger undertaking,although the floor wasn't as old,it was our 4H Exiss LQ trailer and this time I used the liner with the Kevlar.The Sooner floor coating has since come off in a couple or three small spots.The only thing I can figure out is,the liner had cured,but,I rinsed under the mats and it sat up this winter with it being wet under the mats,so,maybe that is what happened-not sure,but,I can patch those,I feel.we just got a 1995 2H GN 4Star,and I'm going to tackle that one this fall.I recommend this procedure to anyone wanting to reduce their work load cleaning out a trailer,everything rinses out so much easier,no sticking to the floor under the mats,plus,your aluminum floor is protected.Gard has been a good friend to me here and to others,too,I am sure.His knowledge is vast about aluminum,having worked in the aircraft industry,and his advice and instructions are unsurpassed.It has been a real honor to get to know this great guy and I wish him and "Mrs.Gard" all the very best.
