Green Machine 04-22-2006, 12:59 AM DO NOT use oven cleaner on aluminum, you'll be very very sorry, read the can label !!! What are you trying to get off, light grease ??? Mix up some dish soap or Simple Green 50/50 with water and spray it on, let it soak for a whaile and hit with a power washer or car wash. oscareltemblo 04-22-2006, 02:08 AM My friend told me touse Aluma Brite has any one used it before? Mudder 04-22-2006, 06:04 AM What are you cleaning? Lots of cleaners and chemicals will etch aluminum. 70GMCer 04-22-2006, 06:48 AM NO OVEN CLEANER!!!! I always use "Simple Green" or "Castrol Super Clean" on aluminum. Oven cleaner can turn the aluminum black and can etch it bad.... greasemonkey 04-22-2006, 11:48 AM Castrol Super Clean can also etch aluminum, I found out the hard way. How about regular engine cleaner? I have had good luck with Foamy Engine Brite, I think it is safe for aluminum. 70c10 04-22-2006, 12:11 PM I also like the Foamy engine brite for engines! rigon4 04-22-2006, 12:21 PM if you live near a truck stop they will have aluminum acid takes every thing off jakeslim 04-22-2006, 12:28 PM Mequires aluminum cleaner works great. 68 short step 04-22-2006, 02:51 PM i use oven cleaner on all my stuff.... never had any problem with it.......need pics of how it cleans up http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=412057&page=1&pp=20 never had any problems with it. been doing this for over 6 yrs now too. cdowns 04-22-2006, 03:42 PM water will work just fine if it's run thru a pressure washer 70short/step 04-22-2006, 05:16 PM Oven cleaner will work if you plan on painting it like 68 short step did. But it will turn it colors you dont want if you want to leave it bare aluminum! So Dont use OVEN CLEANER! ratrod67 04-22-2006, 05:28 PM This is what you want to use. http://www.eagleone.com/pages/products/product.asp?itemid=1001&cat=5006 Joeys Toy 04-22-2006, 07:41 PM Use Aluma Brite at work on diamond plate aluminum plates on exterior of truck. Removed all stains. looks good. just spray it on and let it do the work. Think we got it at B-Line. wibilly 04-22-2006, 10:26 PM most boat shops will have products to safely clean and pollish aluminum as well |
