Aluminum Restoration Kit

The Ali Cleaner Kit is your all-in-one solution for restoring bare aluminum surfaces to their original shine. Whether it's toolboxes, trailers, pontoons, or wheels—this kit cuts through grime, oxidation, and surface corrosion with ease.

33.8oz Aluminum Cleaner – A high-performance formula that removes oxidation, stains, and surface corrosion fast.

33.8oz 4WD & RV Wash (pH 12 Neutralizer) – Balances the surface after cleaning to prevent flash corrosion and neutralize acidity.

Soft Bristle Brush – Ideal for safely scrubbing without damaging your metal surfaces.

Step 1: Apply the Aluminum Cleaner

• Shake the bottle well before use
• Spray the Aluminum Cleaner directly onto the bare aluminum surface.
• Let it sit for 30–60 seconds—you’ll see it start to react and foam slightly as it lifts oxidation and stains.
• Avoid letting it dry on the surface.

Step 2: Agitate with the Soft Bristle Brush

• Gently scrub the treated area with the Soft Bristle Brush to help break up heavy oxidation and grime.
• For large or vertical surfaces, work in sections to prevent streaking.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

• Use a pressure washer or strong stream of water to rinse off the cleaner completely.
• Ensure no residue remains before moving to the next step.

Step 4: Neutralize with the 4WD & RV Wash

• Mix the 4WD & RV Wash in a foam gun or bucket (use as a regular detergent).
• Apply generously to the entire surface that was treated.
• Let it sit for a minute, then rinse thoroughly again.
• This step rebalances the surface and helps prevent flash corrosion.

Optional Final Touch:

• Once dry, you can apply a polish or sealant if you want to add shine or protection—but it's not required.

Q: Can I use this on painted or coated aluminum?
A: No. The Aluminum Cleaner is designed specifically for bare/raw aluminum. Using it on painted, anodized, or powder-coated surfaces may cause damage, including fading or etching.

Q: Can I use this on alloy surfaces?
A: Yes, but only on alloys that don’t contain magnesium blends. Magnesium can react harshly with acid-based cleaners, potentially causing pitting or discoloration.

Because most people don’t know the exact makeup of their alloy, it’s safest to test the cleaner on a small, hidden area first.

Also, this is a concentrated formula—you must dilute it 7:1 (7 parts water to 1 part cleaner) before use.

Q: Do I need to dilute the Aluminum Cleaner?
A: Yes. It must be diluted at a 7:1 ratio before use. That means 1 quart of concentrate makes 8 quarts of usable solution. Never use it straight—it's too strong and could damage surfaces.

Q: Will the cleaner damage my aluminum?
A: Not when used properly. It’s formulated to safely clean raw aluminum, but always dilute and follow with the 4WD & RV Wash neutralizer to prevent flash corrosion.

Q: What happens if I skip the neutralizing step?
A: Skipping it leaves the surface acidic, which can cause flash corrosion or surface etching. The pH 12 neutralizer is essential for balancing the surface and protecting your results.

Q: How much area does the kit cover?
A: When diluted 7:1, your 33.8oz (1 quart) Aluminum Cleaner makes 8 quarts of ready-to-use solution.

That covers roughly 320–400 sq. ft. depending on how dirty the surface is.

1. Real-life examples:
   Truck toolbox = ~8 sq. ft.
2. Pontoon side = ~100–150 sq. ft.
3. Dual axle trailer = ~120–160 sq. ft.
4. 4 wheels = ~10 sq. ft

Q: How long does it take to work?

A: You’ll see results within 30–60 seconds of applying the diluted solution. Let it sit, scrub, rinse, and neutralize for best results.

Q: Can I use the 4WD & RV Wash on its own?

A: Absolutely. It’s a powerful detergent for washing off-road vehicles, RVs, boats, and trailers—even when not used as a neutralizer.

Q: Is it safe to use around water or plants?
A: Use with caution. Avoid runoff into waterways or soil. Rinse well and follow local environmental guidelines.

Q: Do I need to wear safety gear when using this kit?
A: Yes. Because the Aluminum Cleaner is an acid-based concentrate, you should always wear appropriate safety equipment when handling or applying it—especially during the mixing and cleaning process.

Recommended Safety Gear:

• (chemical-resistant, nitrile or rubber)
• (safety glasses or goggles)
• (long sleeves or coveralls to avoid skin contact)
• if you're in an enclosed space or sensitive to strong vapors)
  Always work in a well-ventilated area, and never apply the cleaner in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.

If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
