    I watched the videos and I'm still unclear on something. Do you need to wash with a pH neutral wash after the acidic wash? I thought it might help just get any residual acidity off the paint but maybe that's unnecessary?

    Other than that I'm going to use the exact process you outlined and Sandro used in the videos.
    Following up Descale with Reset isn’t a bad idea. I’d say that if you’re gonna do it right, you might as well not leave any stone unturned.

    I don't, just rinse thoroughly. But I guess it depends on what you intend to do afterwards. In most cases, you would probably be following up with an IPA (Carpro Eraser, Gyeon Prep) wipe down, so if there was a chance of residue remaining, that would take care of it. But again, Descale rinses cleaning so adding an extra step wouldn't be doing much. Keep in mind also, water is typically pH neutral, so that in itself is neutralizing the acidity.
