Naval jelly is considered safer to use than traditional liquid phosphoric acid metal pretreatments. For rust removal on body panels, the naval jelly is kept wet. Paint failures from phosphoric acid are thought to be caused by wiping on the acid, and letting it dry.

''"'''NOTE:''' Do not use any acid base products such as self etching primer, etc. under the KP2CF primer. This will almost certainly cause an adhesion problem.''

'''''NOTE:''' If you find it necessary to use a metal conditioner to remove rust, etc., be sure to thoroughly clean and neutralize the treated area following the conditioner manufacturers recommendations, then using our KC20 post sanding cleaner with a maroon scuff pad to insure all acid residue has been removed before priming. If not, this will almost certainly cause an adhesion problem."''

I've used "Ospho" to restore cars for over 25 yrs without a problem and wont prime a stripped car without it,no matter how it was stripped,(sanded,blasted or chemically).I believe the only people that dont like it haven't used it.or simply used it wrong...it works well with any type of primer or "ANY" brand ,so I totally disagree with (SPI)since thats the epoxy primer I use and prefer over all others...One of the few auto body products I swear by....posted by "deadbodyman"
