What do you recommend to use to clean the aluminum that will bring back the original look?


Hello Barry,

In one of my other hobbies restoring antique outboard motors from the 1920"s and 30's I deal with a lot of raw cast aluminum. What I use is a product from NAPA called aluminum brightener. It is napa brand and comes is a spray bottle. It is a mild acid of sorts. On most projects I cut with water to a 50/50 for most and stronger if need be. I let set for a few minutes and then use a BRASS wire bush. I rinse and repeat until I am happy. Then at the end I mix up a bottle of water and baking soda to neutralize the acid. Lastly I wash with warm soap and water.

Thanks
James
