Aluminox is a concentrated industrial strength acid brightener that is a safer alternative to traditional aluminum brighteners, such as hydrofluoric acid. Aluminox is a proprietary blend of acids and catalysts or "activators". The catalysts make the surface of the aluminum more reactive which allows the acid blend to be more productive on bare aluminum. This product will brighten aluminum and will remove road film without the negative hazards associated with most brighteners. Aluminox will quickly remove any aluminum oxide, leaving a fresh aluminum surface for welding, polishing, stripping, paint or pre-paint treatments. It is exceptional at cleaning polished stainless steel to a brilliant shine and quickly removes brake dust from wheels. Aluminox is biodegradable and, when pH neutralized, is safe for disposal in most municipalities. Mill Finished Aluminum Cleaning: pontoon brightener backOn mill finish aluminum, (older pontoons and unpainted flat aluminum panels on aluminum trailers) the aluminum turns light gray as shown in the picture. The more you dilute the cleaner, the less grayish color you will get. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult for this type of aluminum to go back to the showroom finish. However, the whitish gray is 100% better than the oxidized black. Polished Aluminum Finishes: Aluminox will dull polished aluminum finishes (mirrored finishes/diamond plate). The only way to bring polished aluminum back to a reflective finish is to actually polish it with a polish and buffer. However, cleaning with Aluminox will make the job much easier and in the case of pontoons, looks better without the reflective finish. Only available in continental U.S. (Lower 48 states)
