The car has 40,000 miles of grime on it. With the dirt of I think it is worth 5HP. :laughing:
I sprayed it on then used steel wool, wiped it down. Did that several times. Then sprayed it again and used brushes in hard to get to areas.
The last time I sprayed it I let it set for a little while before I wiped it down. I was a little concern about just wiping it down so I sprayed it with some glass cleaner. The glass cleaner is probably not necessary, but after seeing what it did to the aluminum I wanted to be sure it was neutralized. Again to cmonkey. I bet cmonkey did not know a vet could get this dirty.

Caution:
This stuff is strong, both in smell and on your hands. If you get it on polished aluminum it will dull it out and it will have to be re-polished.

Very impressive! Probably looks better than when it left the factory.

Whats the price pont of that stuff? I use DG Marine Aluminum cleaner which works very similar to get the crude/salt water off the undercarriage of a tow vehicle but stuff might be cheaper or maybe just rebranded DG?
