    I talked to a friend who uses this on aluminum flatbed trailer. I’m thinking of trying it on my aluminum chip trailer. Anyone have experience with it? 0768BB13-AD8F-4B72-B4D4-6A2393C61B63.jpeg

    You dilute it with water. The stuff in the aerosol is already diluted though.

    It works good, use the aerosol on my polished aluminum. Not sure how it would work on a whole trailer especially if polished.
    WEB products make a aluminum cleaner
    Not as harsh as aluminum brighter

    I’ve only used it to get road oil off my truck. But it works good.

    This is the kind of trailer I’d be using it on. DCD3B98F-E7FE-433B-A2E2-25708073338E.jpeg

    Big fan of that stuff. A little bit goes a long way. For 2 trucks one bottle lasts us about a year

    I wipe it on with a rag after diluting it with water then blast it off with the pressure washer. You can go a few months between polishing the wheels and they still look sharp
