will this product remove oxidation, and make aluminum shine ?

My container says removes baked on grease and carbon on all metals including Aluminum, chrome,stainless steel, cast iron porcelain enamel, copper and brass. I have used this product for years very successfully. Be careful in using it. Cover all surfaces around what you are working on.

I have only used it once, with mixed results, so I can't say definitively that it will.

Yes, this is the best cleaner I have used. We had some older pans that had oxidation around the rivets. A kitchen glove, steel wool, and Sokoff and these pans look like new!

I do not have aluminum to try this product but I can ask a friend for an old aluminum pot or pan for experimentation.I used this product on my IRON Log Cabin pots, which removed the caked on, baked on carbon. It works.

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!

You would need to use a product to remove the oxidation. Wax will only cover it up until it dries. 3m makes a good line of products for this.

It will remove surface impurities. If you have some light corrosion or tarnish on the outside, then yes, some heavy polishing will take care of it. If the level of oxidation is too high, then the rust will have eroded and made pits in the metal. There is no helping that level of damage short of grinding away the surface completely.

It will not entirely remove powder coat. It may take off spots but it is better to use an alternate product for such an application.

I haven't tried that. This product is a powder, kind of like barkeepers friend, comet, baking soda, etc. It's a mild abrasive, a polish, and there are polishes specifically for buffing cars etc, I'd probably go with an automotive product just to be sure.

I saw an ad that says it rejuvenates old faded finishes so I would guess that it should spruce up your oxidized hood. Not sure that it would be perfect, though. I use it for polishing/shining my car. I use the color stick that comes with it to touch up occasional scratches. My car is fairly new. The shine that it gives my car is wonderful.

it will leave a film, but it should wash off with just warm water. If you do it out of the Sun and keep it wet with the aircraft stripper it should work in about 5 to 10 minutes. also you may want to read the container to make sure that is compatible with aluminum. I believe it is but I'm not sure.

I can't say for 100%, but I would be willing bet you can. Deoxit will clean off the oxidation on electrical contacts and help to improve the electrical connections. Just be sure that there is no electricity going through any of the wires when you decide to clean any connections. It might be a good idea to use some dialetric grease to help keep the water out of the connector and prevent corrosion after you do.

I used the polish on a large brass tray that was bought in Spain. I cleaned and coated it probably close to a year ago. It looks beautiful and I have seen any change in it. I do not know about antioxidation and UV protection. Have you contacted the manufacturer? Sorry I cannot be of more help. Peggy

Never tried it on aluminum. Works great on brass and stainless steel. Surfaces with an already polished finish should be the best option.

I would try MAAS. It removes stains and polishes without any damage. I have tried other suggested products and concoctions and this is the only one that I feel safe using on my precious metals. It is amazing!

This product cannot be used on aluminum. It will ruin the metal. Check first what metal is used and if it is not aluminum, you should be fine.

To marion mcgovern: If ever in doubt about metal, do NOT put it in the dishwasher! The chlorine and detergents cause some metals to oxidize (turn black). It really doesn't need to be washed, just let any dough particles dry on the mold, then simply brush them off. When you do manage to totally oxidize aluminum, use a product called "Cameo". Actually, the oxidation won't kill you, some tools are best washed by hand (if applicable)

I can't imagine what rusts that you'd use this to shine. It removes TARNISH. If some rust had just rubbed off onto something else through proximity, I'd THINK it would remove the non-original rust, but this is just speculation on my part.

I would not recommend this product, it only removes partial oxidation. You have to careful with any chemical that removes haze on your headlights. Wash your hands and have plenty of ventilation. Crest or Colgate toothpaste works just as good, google it or youtube -how to restore headlights with ordinary toothpaste.

if you mean aluminum, I've used it to clean the mildew and dirt from the aluminum siding on my car port, but it did peel some of the (ancient) paint off while I was using it.
