Metalprep works brilliantly. I find it best to clean up the part first with 
a light rub over with fine sandpaper then a dip in Metalprep has the part 
gleaming and spotless, all ready for the ALODINE. I treated the early parts 
of the kit to Anodising but find the ALODINE sytem much more flexible as 
befits building your own plane in the garage.
