An avid fisherman friend & work buddy has a 20' North River Aluminum boat that needs the oxidation & crud removed so it's bright & shiney again. He's tried a cleaner that's high in various acids & all it does is streak it.
Anyone know of a great product for aluminum boat bottoms?? .........b |

Here is something to contemplate. Don't clean it. Seriously, say your hul is 1/8" thick new. The oxidation is what? aluminum oxide.... which comes from the hull. When the hull completely oxidizes it won't go any further. if you polish all the oxidation off the hull will quickly start the oxidation process again. Every time you do this the hull get THINNER. Leave it alone and the hull will last longer than you. Polish it and you wiil be riding in a beer car in a few years.
