Wrought iron acid wash

Has anyone had any experience with acid washing wrought iron. What type of product is used to get this type of finish? Thank You

Most steel mills use hydrochloric (acido muriatico) acid to descale or "clean" their products. I don't know if that's the kind of finish that you are looking for.
