What happens here

After scrubbing with the cleaner, use a separate clean rag dampened with clean water to wipe down the treated area. Rinse the rag frequently in a bucket of clean water to avoid spreading the removed chalky residue back onto the door. Continue this process, rinsing and wiping, until all traces of the cleaner and chalk are gone. The surface should feel smooth and appear free of any powdery residue. The presenter demonstrates checking for cleanliness by wiping his hand across the surface; a clean hand indicates a properly prepared door.

Goal: Thoroughly rinse the door to remove all cleaner and chalkiness.

surface so i got my crud cutter on there now i'm just gonna now it's important to keep cleaning your rag otherwise you'll just be smearing it around this chalky residue you're spraying like with a latex paint that's a product called emulsibond will help your latex paint bond to a chalky surface but we're going to be able to get all this stuff off and then it's back here it's fairly warm today so this should dry off extremely fast for me to be able to mask it's not a porous surface it's just a metal surface so i don't have water absorbing into the surface when it comes to you know painting something like this the prep work is really important especially on a high traffic door like this get good adhesion of your product if your water starts to get too dirty just you'll get some clean water now one of the things you can do to test whether your door is clean enough you could just wipe your hand on it and see if you've got any residue on your hand you should have a pretty clean hand you know if not just clean it a little bit more i'm gonna get a dry rag wipe it down
