Aluminium Acid Engine cleaner.
 

I have some Alloy on my newage thats really mucky, and tarnished, with white powerder on it, now when I had my MR2 Turbo I went to a Donnington where I bought some acid cleaner.

Now when you brushed it on it would actually FIZZ on the alloy in the engine, give it a mild rub with a soft brush and then just pour water over it and it was as if it had stripped a layer off!!!

Came up like brand spanking new!

Does anyone know of this stuff or anything thats as strong?

Takes all the hard work out of moving all the wires, cables, pipes, as you just spray on, and leave it to fizz.

Could it be Raceglaze Metal Deoxidiser - http://www.raceglaze.co.uk/metal-cleaning.html - try calling Mark at Raceglaze and asking him, but it sounds like a very similar product. :thumb:

Thats the stuff!

Legend.

Thanks buddy!

How about wonder wheels?

We have a gallon of concentrated trade stuff somewhere called "Alubrite"; Basically its acid (smells like hydrochloric acid - otherwise known as brick acid or patio cleaner ;) ) .

Just one warning with acid based cleaners on bare aluminium; whatever you use it on must be sealed afterwards with a clearcoat laquer or engine dressing. As being bare aluminum, it will oxidise very quickly after its been done, so that shiny bling will go dull within a matter of months.

Sealing it with a laquer or dressing will stop it from going dull again (although some engine dressings do go yellow or flake off, especially if too much is applied too thickly).
