Can get at hardware shop. thanks bro.. will try it too.It is for any metal that the surface is oxidize and dirty stain. Very effective. But for aluminium, there possible got 2 outcome result after apply. Either shinning gross or aluminium mate. Try it with small potion first and see the result. |

QUOTE(leeyung @ Dec 14 2011, 08:37 PM) Scientifically not very true, Aluminium is a kind of metal in which according to the periodic table, it is very fast oxidize and leave a layer of alu oxide on its top coat, this layer will keep the aluminium in shinny surface but what i can see on my aluminum frames are yellowish stain and not shiny at all. So is that Al2O3 too? and that is why you will never see aluminium rusted, this is what I learnt during materials engineering  |
