The ULTIMATE aluminum cleaner!
I surfed the net last week in search of an aluminum cleaner. I did a search for "aluminum" and "oxidation". I found a few sites but one really stood out. It is a new product called ALUMA KLEEN by BioKleen. You can find it here:

I called the tech line & actually talked to the chemist that developed the stuff. What I liked about what he said is that it will not hurt the aluminum and if I ever decided to paint the car the solution does not have any waxes in it. All you have to do is spray it on & let it sit for a minute. Next all you have to do is wipe it off or hose it down (I wiped it off). There is a great noticeable difference. I only got the 32oz size to test but it wasn't enough to get it the way I wanted to look. It will take a few times to get the color to look consistant and get rid of the drip lines.
If you have a sprayer that acts like an atomizer, that will be better and cause less runoff. I also ordered another gallon of the stuff. It removes grease marks & finger prints as well. After you have sprayed & cleaned the whole car once, I would suggest spraying some on a towell and cleaning the car that way. Way better than Windex.
One note of caution: Try not to get it on other metals. I let some sit on the gas cap too long and now there are spots. I suspect that I will just have to polish it.
I will post som pics later.
Later
