Default Prep for bedliner

So I stripped my interior for bedliner. Any rust I cut out and welded new metal in. Then stripped it to Bare metal and a coat of self etching primer. I'm on break so I won't work for 2weeks but I plan on spraying next month. I'm fairly sure I'm going to need to reclean the primer once I'm back. How should I reclean the primer

Before bedlining your jeep use MEK or acetone to clean the surface.

I would just wipe it down and make sure its dry and clean form any debris and use roll on bedliner for the floors preferably chassis saver its the best stuff out there

chassis saver is a chassis / floor stop rust paint, the company makes the bedliner called monstaliner. It is the best.

I have ALS liner already. Have had real good experience with it. What I. Saying though is the directions say spray bare metal with self etching primer then spray.

I clean the metal then sprayed primer. There is a layer of dust already on the primer after two days. I tried air but it doesn't blow it off. A shop vac works but it scratches the primer.

My question I'm trying to ask is what should I use to clean the primer of dirt and what nit.

Just air blow the dust and debri off, then bedline the heck out of it. No need to worrie since the bed liner has a rough feel and look to it. Re-prim if needed.

Pull the plugs, bed line, then replace with rubber plugs. that way you can drain any water god forbid you ever get in a little too deep in the drink
