Aluminum brighteners?

JamesM56alum · Jan 30, 2012

So whats the best aluminum brighteners you guys know of/tried. Im most likely going to be using the purple power brand, i use all of their other cleaners by the 5gal bucket and i love the stuff it cleans anything an everything. Now just curious if anyone else has tried the brightener

I have been wondering about this too....what about Alum Wheel cleaner. I had planned on using a scotch bright and some kind of cleaner...and then a pressure washer...but the videos I see seem like spray on spray off type thing.

I believe that is the same stuff a buddy of mine recently purchased. It appears to be about the same thing as Alumabrite but made by a different company. I'll let you know (hopefully soon) as I plan to do a test of it on my boat before I purchase any.

Well whoever does it first post the feedback lol mine is a little ways away i still need to strip the paint off the gunrails before i start to polish, iv decided my paint sceme finally after changing my mind 100+ times, Im going Black bottom with polished alum from the mid rail up to the gunrail and do the gunrail in black.

Whatcha think?

Curious to see how the other brands work

You got any pics of the cpr job? Would love to see how it works

Well, the stuff my buddy got isn't the brand in question so I won't be able to show you any results for that brand. He had Alumabrite and some commercial grade purple degreaser.
