Thanks for the tip! found it in a spray bottle @ O'Reilly's 7 bucks , cleaned my 1988 Jon boat to look like it came out of the factory in Delhi La. in '88 ! it only took a few sprays to do the job plenty of water and a good brush. The boat had sat for the past 4 - 5 yrs uncovered .
In the HVAC business we used to use coil cleaner to clean the aluminum condenser coils. It's very caustic but it works well on aluminum. There are milder products for consumer use to be sure.
Also dilute the coil cleaner with water a little to make your milder product Strip Kleen makes a product called concrete and metal etch. It contains phosphoric acid, many aluminum brightners contain phosphoric acid. This is concentrated and you have to do a little chemistry (trial and error) by mixing with water until you get the results you like. I put it in a pump sprayer spray, lightly scrub with a soft brush and rinse, repeat until it’s as bright as you like. If you have shinny aluminum it takes the shine off and brightens. So if you want shiny you may consider buffing and polishing instead. PHOSPHORIC ACID IS ACID, SO TAKE PRECAUTIONS! PUMP SPRAYERS CAN MALFUNCTION AND SPRAY WHEN YOU DON’T WANT THEM. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS!
Use a soft brush to agitate evenly after spraying and you get a very even result. Never let dry before hosing it off. Rinse really well and make sure it's all flushed out of the bunk carpet or any nooks and crannies.
A tip from someone who has done this many times: Spray on the cleaner from the bottom UP not top down. This helps eliminates streaks. Other comments about wearing protective gear are on point. Inhale some of this stuff and you will regret it soon and again years later.
Dude... its aluminum cleaner. Its been around for decades. Order it or go to a truckers supply store. Its the same shit they use to clean their non clear coated unpainted aluminum rims.
Question. How long did the shine last? I can’t remember the product I used before on some aluminum rims but I remember the dullness returned fast. I’d like to try this on my boat but not if I’m gonna have to keep doing every month. Also, any stains on your driveway after this? Thanks for the video.
My boat still looks great after 5 months. With that said, I cannot vouch for the longevity of the shine beyond 5 months since the first time I used the product was at the time of the video. I had no discoloration or advers effect on my concrete after applying the product to my boat but I was sure to rinse it thoroughly and immediately. Good luck and thanks for watching!
The cursedfisherman may want to avoid using this method to clean his boat or purchase a hazmat suit😂 It should go without saying; all PPE's should be used whenever using chemicals in accordance to the manufacturer recommendations.
Cursedfisherman are you serious their are SO MANY things we as humans should or should not do and you focus on hazmat suit to spray down a boat. I m going to buy this stuff and try it. Maybe you should wear a condom too if u try this at home just sayin can't be to safe. And don't forget a helmet.
@@MrResistolWrangler hey do what you want , I diluted it , got one drop on my forearm and it burned it! Had a red spot the size of a nickel ! The stuff is acid!
If you watch until the end of the video, I tell you what it is, show you what it is, where I bought it feom and how much I paid for it. Patience my friend, PATIENCE!!!
When you do a video speak clearly and don't mumble,. what's the point if you don't speak clearly so people are able to understand you. and if you apply this there needs to be someway to spread it evenly say a stiff fibre brush etc.
Sorry you had trouble hearing the video. I am a one man show just trying to help a few folks out with a simple video of things I have learned or products I have used. You can use a brush if you want to help with a more even distribution of the product or very stubborn stains, but honestly I did not need a brush for my application. Just a thorough coating of the product, wait 30 seconds or so and rinse off is all I needed for my boat.
I repeat that if you are prenting information it's better received if the information is clear. I make no apology for the criticism. Without feedback how does this person improve his presentation if he has no feedback that he has a problem. I'm not attempting to discourage you, rather I'm saying there is room for improvement in your presentation

A little hint on spraying your product, start from bottom using spray rig , it eliminates the drip look

Thank you sir looking for something to do a quick clean on my fathers boat i welded up years ago!

And brushing it in
Hope I can find this product by me, I would suggest a tank sprayer for you though won’t tire your hand out as fast. Great video

I wonder how hard it is on a painted boat
It is sodium hydroxide or LYE. DIlute with water. An old technique to clean aluminum
This stuff has been around for decades
It's basically acid and soap
I would use brush why not?
You can use a brush on difficult areas but in most cases a brush is not necessary.
Your supposed to wear gloves ,goggles and long sleeve shirts and pants when you use this!
Oh stop, 😂😂

I just use apple cider vinegar
That doesn’t work lol
What was the point of the video if you just keep calling it "this product". I'm watching on a TV so there is no description.
Sorry, 👎 / skip
In the description and at the end of the vid
If you watch until the end of the video, I tell you what it is, show you what it is, where I bought it feom and how much I paid for it. Patience my friend, PATIENCE!!!
@@MrResistolWrangler Ain't nobody got time for dat!
@@Manuel_Z_Kayaks you snooze, you lose! You don't want to wait, then you don't get the goodies!
So it’s like painting your boat white?
