Has anyone tried this on anodized aluminium? I have a 1971 Avion trailer.

Try it on a small hidden area of the aluminum. This is such a terrific product, I would say, you have a chance for success!

First let me say I really like Flitz. Have 2 Harleys and both have been "Flitzed". Now, the anodization pocess places a thin layer of durable coating, only a few microns thick, onto a surface for oxide protection. Logic says it will not make any difference but as Mary Jo says, try it on a small hidden area and see what happens. You may remove other things that have discolored your surface and the end result may make you happy.

I've had great luck with Raptor on aluminum and steel, but I've never tried it on plastic. U-Pol's customer service is excellent. If you send a question through the U-Pol website (http://www.u-pol.co.uk/), you'll get an answer right away. Good luck.

Yes they will work on aluminum surface especially if you install the outer door knob. When installing on a aluminum surface drill the screws holes a little smaller then the screws.

I don't see why not, it works great with aluminum, all shapes, sizes and thickness.

You'll definitely scratch the pan. Anodized aluminum is harder than regular aluminum, but not as hard as steel. In general, you should treat it the same way as a non-stick pan (i.e. use rubber or plastic utensils when possible).

Hi Ron, they are. I believe you will see the word anodized or I anodizing. I believe that is in reference to they way aluminum is applied. Has something to do with electrical current. Supposed to make them stronger. 😊

I have used it on brass, stainless steel, and copper. Have not used it on aluminum.

Sorry, Roger, I never tried the polish on aluminum.I only use it on copper. It does an excellent job on copper. Anetski

It's not polished aluminum. It's a composite plastic, very durable. It's an OEM part.

We have ours for almost a year and it still looks new. It is not totally exposed to weather, though. We have it in front of the house, close to the entry way, very little sun exposure. I know it is cast aluminum, but am not sure if its anodized or painted. Sorry, I could not answer your question.

I'm not sure on etching. But the galvanized wheels come out lookin' really good. It's a galvanized pontoon trailer so there wasn't much spillage to worry about due to it's construction method. I used the MarryKate on my 1979 PennYan 24 XE galvanized trailer wheels also with excellent results. I would not get this product on any painted surface it will destroy it!

I do not think it matters and would work just as well either way. I needed to mount the vertical aluminum on the outside because the bottom inch of my panel was damaged in places due to snow & rain and a lack of paint. I used a lot of 100% silicone behind the aluminum to get a great seal and stop the rot a month or so after painting it.

I tmay depend on whether the RV is bare aluminum or is painted. It if is painted and shiny then yes, but I would not use it on bare aluminum.

Nothing, if you are lucky. It isn't supposed to attack anything but the oxide on aluminum.

I used it on the bottom of a aluminum boat and it worked fine..you must sand and prep first. If your usingit for a big crack use a thicker marine epoxy first then sand then apply its kindof a thin liquid but its strong and dries flexible. It was ill definatly seal leaking rivets and is easy to use..

Sorry. Misread the question without my glasses. If it's painted aluminum, yes but if it is years of build up, the ard work probably won't be worth it. At first it will look good but will quickly lose its shine.

I would check with dealer. I have used this product on an aluminum boat with great results. I would be careful using it on an auto with a clear coat finish. Before using test on a small spot that is not in a noticeable spot.
