Default Cleaning Aluminum

I recentley purchased a aluminum boat that the aluminum is stained a brown color from leaving it in the river. Does anyone know the best way to clean this off ?

Default Re: Cleaning Aluminum

Toon-Brite from overtons does wonders for alumnimum. I use it on my Pontoon Logs! Spray it on and hose it off! Good Stuff! I used to use alumnimum wheel cleaner from Autozone! That stuff really eats it off fast, but kinda leaves it with a whiteish finish. But it fades away pretty quick. It's like you really can't tell if it's white or just clean, after you use it. The only reason it looked white, was because I missed a couple of spots and you could see the difference between old and new!Rick
