Stuff works fantastic. One bit of advice to anyone that planning on trying this or any other brighter. Don't get distracted and walk away from it and leave it on to long. Because you can BURN the Aluminum with this type of cleaner. The "Burned" look will be a chalky white powder look. And its a lot of works to get it back to shinny, But can be done. Also, Be sure to THOROUGHLY wash down the area where you are working if you have pets, like a dog. Because IT CAN AND WILL BURN the pads on there feet. Same with kids and bare feet. Just simply wash the area well with cold water, and you'll be golden.

Jon, great information! Thanks for sharing! That stuff really works great!

Looking good! Love the trailer! And you are making it look very nice!

Thanks Jon! I'm going to give this a try on my HVAC service truck's tool boxes! I've been hoping there was a way to make them look better and I think this a great deal! God bless!

I have a 24ft pontoon about to get a cleaning thanks to your video , tks.

Great looking trailer. Nice addition to your tools.

Thank you! Maiden voyage with the tractor on a long trip is coming this weekend. I’m hoping it performs well. Keep on tractoring!

That trailer is looking good now! I’ll have to try that Aluminum Brightener sometime. First time I’ve seen it. Take care!

Yes it can, it oxidizes fast though. I’m trying out some spray on wax to maybe slow that oxidization down a bit. We’ll see I guess. 🤷‍♂️ Keep on tractoring!

Great video.... Very informative... Don't let the acid around the wood or even pressure treated wood..... Ur trailer will look great but ur haul will go right throw in time.

on pontoon boats, People are making rafts and adding seats from school buses around the perimeter . work great

Liked the Purple Power….another organic product to use on the boards would be Linseed oil. You may want to consider taking the boards out doing the bottoms several times with what ever protectant you choose and reinstall…..Tom

We have a brushed aluminum cross on our steeple at our church..... Gunna give it a try. I'll get back to you. It really high and unaccessible.

Trailer looks great John 👍

Those tires turned out very nice. You are turning that trailer into a show queen. You are going to get it looking so nice, your not going to want to put anything on it. 😀

Getting ready for its maiden voyage to up north next weekend with the tractor. Going to play in the woods again! I’m so looking forward to it! Keep on tractoring!

Can use it for water spots on glass on cars or full acid bath on cars just wax right after

I use it all the time on my Dump Truck wheels and fuel tank

It definitely works good. I wonder how it would work on cast aluminum.

Works amazingly well. Give it a try! Best of luck to the new school year Nate! Hope all is well. Keep on tractoring!

Would not recommend this stuff to anyone unless you want your bot completely white, are unless you plan on buffing it out after. Works good to clean it if your going to buff the aluminum after.

Do you use full strength in the spray bottle or dilute it ?

Great video. I see that it does a good job on removing the dirt and grim...But I don't get that it's called "Aluminum Brightener" yet the aluminum is actually a lot more dull when finished - clean but dull. I want a cleaner that will remove the dirt but leave the shine of the metal. Maybe that's impossible? (Yes, I know I can re-polish)

Any update on which seems to work better, oil or stain, on the wood?

Oil seems to have worked better over time but the stain also did well. I wouldn't waste money on stain though. Stick with used motor oil. Keep on tractoring!

What about putting a clear coat of polyurethane or something similar to protect the finish?

It will peel. Aluminum makes aluminum oxide on its surface, which will make it peel. A zinc cromate primer will stop the oxide process but it is not clear.

Toilet bowl cleaner works very good also

Had you already washed loose dirt/stains before beginning? Just wondering if some of that dramatic difference is due to just loose dirt...

I hosed it down but seriously the main difference you see is because of the product. It really works well and is reasonably priced. Keep on tractoring!

Be careful with that on exposed concrete some of those brighteners have an acid base and could etch the surface of your driveway use plenty of water to flush it away

From a professional dont let it set more that 30 seconds to a minute. And start with a 4/1 acid to water mix first

Polish all of the trailer rails then ill look even better

Awesome video. It is actually against the law to use motor oil that way.{Bad for the environment} Got the brightener Napa brand, for the wheels on my motorcycle. I have not tried it yet. But from what I've seen on KZread I'm very hopeful. As for the motor oil. A better alternative is a name brand deck sealer.

@@ritterjon You’re right it does require some buffing but there’s a product out there that works relatively quickly and easily even if rubbing or buffing it by hand and I don’t remember the name of it I did see it on KZread
