Cleaning billet aluminum...

[Nick Chapman]

Morning guys and gals...

I've got some billet aluminum licence plates brackets on the front and rear of my truck. They've been getting spotted up by water over time, and I can never seem to get them clean. I've used a few different metal polishes, and nothing gets those nasty water spots out. Anybody have a good suggestion to getting them clean?

Thanks,
Nick

I havent tried it, but if you want you can try the power ball metal polishing systems from mothers. it's supposed to work pretty cool, but well... I can't give and accurate opinion since I've never used it.

I like Blue-Job Edit: Commercial Link Removed - Mike Phillips

You can also remove it and buff it up with rouge on a buffing wheel.

By the way, once you've got it polished always give it a coat of wax to protect it from the elements.

Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polysh is great stuff on billet.

I think Mothers now offers a small power ball, if so or if not, check into one of these and try it with our new Mag Aluminum polish. We used a wide mouth container which will make it easy to use with the power ball.

The mothers powerball works great
but if you want some real shine get a can of eagle one Nevr-dull
the stuff does wonders on my eagle alloys wheels

I tried the NXT polish by hand, and it didn't do a thing to it. Guess I'll pick up one of those small power balls, and see if that works.


Thanks,
