Aluminium Cleaner

The Salty Captain Aluminium Cleaner is a high-performance aluminium surface cleaner designed to cut through oxidation, stains, and grime. This powerful Aluminium Cleaner Concentrate helps restore the original shine and finish to your aluminium gear whether it’s on your boat, trailer, or canopy. Safe, effective, and fast-acting, it’s one of the best aluminium cleaner options for marine and off-road conditions.

• Powerful Cleaning Action: Designed to remove oxidation, stains, and tough grime from aluminium surfaces, this cleaner helps restore the original shine.
• Restores Shine: After cleaning, your aluminium surfaces will regain their natural lustre, looking clean and polished.
• Safe and Effective: It is formulated to be tough on grime but gentle on your surfaces, ensuring no damage while delivering a thorough clean.

Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for various aluminium surfaces, including boats, trailers, and industrial equipment.

Preparation:

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.
• Ensure the aluminium surface is cool and not in direct sunlight. Rinse the surface with water to remove loose dirt and debris.

Dilution:

• Dilute the Aluminium Cleaner Concentrate with water (typically 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water).
• Use a stronger solution for heavier stains, but do not exceed the recommended concentration.

Application:

• Use a spray bottle or sponge to apply the diluted solution to the aluminium surface. Work in small sections to prevent the cleaner from drying out.
• Let the solution sit for 2-5 minutes (Less dwell time may be better depending on your surface. Use visual inspection to judge)

Scrubbing:

• Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to scrub the surface gently, following the metal’s grain to avoid scratches.

Rinsing:

• Rinse thoroughly with an Alkaline solution(our 4wd& RV Wash is great) or clean water if all else is unavailable. For large surfaces, use a garden hose or pressure washer to ensure all cleaner is removed.

1. Finishing:

• Dry the surface with a clean microfiber cloth and buff for added shine. For extra protection, consider applying a protective coating or polish for longevity.
