I prefer Metalprep over Alumiprep for the reason that you can use it on steel also. I believe they cost the same.

To use either:
- Make sure part is clean before using; MEK,acetone, etc.
- Spray, brush or dip part with Metalprep / Alumiprep. Plant sprayers work well. Of course, do not reuse a sprayer for different products. Dedicate a sprayer for Metalprep / Alumiprep.
- Use rubber or plastic containers and synthetic brushes or sponges ( acid resistant ).
- Use minimum strength and duration recommended on label ( more is not better ).
- Rinse well with water to remove residual chemicals.
- If surface drys before rinse, rewet with Metalprep / Alumiprep.
- Finish the part soon therafter, alodine, prime.
