Cleaning Aluminum

What is the best way to clean or restore a unpainted aluminum boat? Thanks Denny

Not a 100% sure but you might try some spray on Mag Wheel cleaners.

I have used Mothers Aluminum polish with very good results. It does take some work rubbing it down. I use to do my old 14' aluminum boat this way. I stripped the paint off, because I was sick and tired of dinging the paint up. I did the aluminum polish once a year, followed by a coat of good wax.

I found by accident one afternoon that spray foam carpet cleaner works great to clean up everything from the top rails to getting the waterline mung off the hull. As a matter of fact I'll be doing just this this afternoon in prep for selling my old Tracker boat. I spray the hull with water then spray the cleaner on, let it set for a minute or two, then use a soft scrub to get all the junk off. Finally just rinse it off with the hose again. Good luck.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas. What works best is the Mag Wheel Cleaner. I don't think anything could work any better. Thanks Denny
