"Ultra Bright Aluminum Cleaner" acid-based aluminum cleaner review

[jakeru]

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to see if I can find a spray head that would screw onto this bottle, and give it another test. I think "spray on" application would make it a lot easier to apply the product more evenly.

I've also been reading up on other (Acid-based) Aluminum cleaners that have a different, perhaps more effective but perhaps more dangerous ingredient in them - hydrofluoric acid. There is one, amazingly, that is readily available over the retail counters of many local auto parts stores, sold as a "eagle one mag wheel aluminum cleaner", in a spray head bottle. I can't help but wonder how it would compare to this product I've got, that uses a different ingredient (aluminum bifluoride.) I've read some pretty scary stuff about hydrofluoric acid though, if it gets on your body! It can even eat away at glass. I think if I ever try that, I'll be following all the safety instructions to the Tee.
