Aluminum Cleaner

  • May 30, 2012 2:52 AM PDT
    At a recent rally here on the Outer Banks I viewed a vendor who had a stand set up where he was selling an aluminum polish.  He had cleaned a old aluminum beer keg and the bottom of various cans to an amazing brillance a examples.  Is anyone familiar with the name of this product?

    Almost all metal cleaner vendors use the beer keg and cans. The one I see the most at events is Blue Magic

    You may want to check out this metal cleaner for our friends (and CycleFish sponsor) at Time Rider...

    I have tried this and not only does it clean, it re-juvinates.  You should see what it did for my beat to death front forks.  I videoed it and will be doing a product review on it.

    brightshine...is a cloth kinda material like cotton wool...impregnated with some smelly chemical, you pull some out, and rub the metal till it turns black then wipe it over with a clean soft cloth...brilliant shine...and leaves a coating that protects it...bright shine comes in a yellow tin...with a pop lid.

    Back in the 90's while hitting the big shows with my bikes I was sponsored by MOTHERS.
    Their aluminum wheel cleaner kicked butt.

    God how I hate polishing aluminum. I know that "chrome won't getcha home" but it's a helluva sight better than workin' your butt off all day polishing aluminum.
    Peace
