User questions & answers

Question:	If cleaning aluminum siding will it kill shrubbery thats below the siding
Answer:	Hi Kelly, Full stop! Don't use this on anything but raw aluminum. It's acidic and will wreck the coating on the siding. You asked about the bushes, if you do try it, the bushes will be fine as long as they are acidic loving bushes like evergreens and other woody plants. It's a fantastic product but please, don't use it on your siding!
Question:	I am restoring an old motorcycle, will this work well for cleaning old, dirty aluminum cases
Answer:	I'm not sure if the item mentioned will restore aluminum to the outcome your looking for. Instead it might be better if you repolished the aluminum.

Answer:	NO..... only on bare aluminum.
Question:	Can this be applied with a power washer

Answer:	not real sure but on rims it does wonders!!!!

User questions & answers

Product features

Pre Application

Surface Preparation: Limited pre-cleaning is required prior to use. Excess dirt, oxidation and moisture should be removed from the targeted surface to extend the coverage area of the product and limit buildup on the microfiber applicator.

Application

Application Method: Aluminum Restoration Solution is applied with a standard microfiber towel. Wet a section of the microfiber towel with Aluminum Restoration Solution at minimum 1” in diameter and wipe on the surface to be treated.

Post Application

What does the product do? Aluminum Restoration Solution cleans and removes chalky oxidation from aluminum and other painted metals in a single pass. Once dried, the product leaves a coating of corrosion protection for the treated surface.

Application Tips:

Best results are achieved by wiping with the microfiber towel in either a lateral or up and down motion with strokes that slightly overlap. No scrubbing is required. Allow the product to do the work. Monitor the microfiber towel for residue buildup. When the towel is loaded with residue, rotate to a clean section of the towel, apply liquid, and resume cleaning. To minimize streaking on large surface areas, a clean and dry microfiber towel can be used immediately after liquid application to optimize the finished appearance.
