Aluminum cleaning

[terrybullwon]

Is there a chemical that cleans aluminum? That gets rid of all the oxide ?

T-cut works well, and Autosol (?) stuff

It won't shift the really stubbon stuff though, a wire brush is the only thing for that, or an acid bath. What you trying to clean?

Looking for something a bit stronger, autosol is good though

I once heard about washing power, white wine vinegar and a dash of cream cleaner with a sprinkle of hope

there is some stuff called metasoak which is meant to be the very good just dunk it in and leave it,there is also the superstrong version called metasoak 12 but this will dissolve your spine just from inhaling the gas that it gives off .
