Is this product made of aluminum or fiberglass? I was told that the fiberglass wands cannot be used with detergents.

Both. But it run in a rubber hose through the fiberglass sections. So your detergent should never touch the fiberglass.

Nope.. it just sits and gets moved my the sweeper, like you say. I'm not sure this is recommended for fiberglass.. I have a traditional plaster pool, and do not notice any discoloration. I love it, as the tabs last much longer and slowly dissolve.

The connection of wand to hose is metal, and the wand itself is aluminum. The nozzle (where the water comes out) is plastic, but not sure why that would break except for damage caused by impact (ie. if the wand were dropped on its nozzle).

The body is definitely aluminum. Hand wash only, never in the dishwasher! As an aside, the cutter blade and extruders are NOT stainless steel but that doesn't make any difference. They are just "steel" as a magnet will prove beyond a doubt. You should still hand wash those items, dry them well and then coat with vegetable oil to prevent rust! Just wash off the oil if it's been stored for a while. . .

Definitely not aluminum. Some kind of polymer. Aluminum canoes are super rare - nearly all canoes are synthetics.

Hello, Robert. I'm gonna take a shot at answering for you. I am an aircraft mechanic who owns an aircraft detailing business called AeroDyne Detail. I have used several Chemical Guys wash products on the aircraft I detail. I have used it on aluminum and composite crafts. There is also a lot of bare aluminum and stainless steel on these planes. The wing tip caps and vertical stab caps are usually fiberglass. I have had no issues. If you check the actual Chemical Guys site, you will find that it is pH balanced, which should alleviate most of your concerns. Additionally, most things worth washing with this product have a paint finish or gel coat, so you're really not getting down to a bare surface most of the time. I am in Florida, which is a particularly corrosive environment with the salt air and over the last year I have seen no issues using this product. It works great when propelled using a 2300-3000 psi power washer coupled with an MTM Hydro Foam Lance like the one I use. http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Foam-Lance-Adjustable-Bottle/dp/B004GNZYY4. A gallon will last you quite a long time as well. I have been detailing off-and-on for the last 30 years and I find this to be a superior wash product. I know you posted this last month. I just happened to be restocking and saw your question. I hope I have helped.

I am not an expert in material:I think is made of glassfiber.I have 4 of these and they are so good for my fishing time.

I installed one on my tub surround (plastic) about two years ago and it is still hanging on. Not sure about fiberglass but shouldn't be much different than plastic. Make sure to follow the installation instructions - especially cleaning the surface prior to installing.

I'd highly recommend getting the Collinite insulator wax #845! I don't think the fiberglass wax would be appropriate for a car. I have used both, and they ate both amazing waxes, but I only use the fiberglass wax on my boat. Get the insulator wax, you'll love it!! I've used it for many years, and everyone that I know that uses it loves it too! Very easy to use and great results.Hope this helps! Good luck :)

The outer shell is solid plastic although the wand itself is rubber. Bottom line is that the outer shell is solid and you cannot bend it.

We ordered this anode rod because of smelly water also. It says it is an aluminum rod in the description.

Only if the fiber wand has fibers in it. The one I bought had exactly 2 applications and then it was empty. Honestly. I'd spend more money and get a product that has an established reputation.

Most dead skin flakes collect in the stainless steel wand.The "Forever" wand and tip can be cleaned with alcohol, or washed and dried really well.

Since I bought this as a gift I am not sure but since it is cast aluminum I would not put it in the dishwasher for fear of pitting from the harshness of the detergents. I use a scrubbing pad on my other cast aluminum and it works great.

Do not use on fiberglass. marble, aluminum, wood or metallic glazed surfaces.

I'm pretty sure it's aluminum. I know it's not cast iron. I've used ours several times since we bought it last summer and it works great. I upgraded the cheap glass pieces to nice reflective copper colored glass shards from the fireplace/spa store and it made a huge difference in esthetics.

I make my own detergent using Borax, Baking Soda, Laundry Soda and washing soap. To do this you have to mix 2 tablespoons with hot water to liquefy this for my front load HE washing machine. So if you just use this I would think you could mix a measured amount with hot water and use it.
