Brien,

I don't agree.  If the "acid dipper" can explain to
you how he neutralizes the bath and coats the treated
metal, I don't think there's anything to worry about. 
A caustic bath and profuse water rinse should take
care of any residual rust removal chemicals.  I know
my trunk lid, at least, has remained in a damp
airplane hangar with no paint or primer on it for six
years now and the zinc phospate coating is holding up
fine.

Still - unless the car is really bad - where
uni-body channels will be replaced - 
removing the coatings from inside the channels
and seams - 
via dipping - for a road car - isn't my way.
