APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: First start by removing all surface contaminants with a quality boat cleaner like our Better Boat Soap before application. For optimal performance, apply the Aluminum Cleaner to surfaces that are not warm from sun exposure. Begin at the lower section of the area needing attention to prevent streaking, working your way upward. Liberally apply Better Boat Aluminum Cleaner to the targeted area, being mindful to prevent it from coming into contact with surfaces not meant for cleaning, such as trailers or stainless steel parts, cleaning and rinsing off any accidental spills at once. Distribute the cleaner uniformly with a brush or a cleaning pad. Let the cleaner set for three to five minutes prior to washing it off completely with clean water. This cleaner operates by initiating a chemical interaction with untreated aluminum. The appearance of a white haze is part of the normal process, indicating that the cleaner is lifting the stains and tarnish from the aluminum’s surface, ready to be scrubbed away. For persistent stains, a repeat application and additional scrubbing with a stiff brush or cleaning pad may be necessary. Ensure the cleaner does not dry on the surface under treatment. For enhanced luster and protection we recommend finishing with our Better Boat Aluminum Polish.
Helps strip oxidation, grime, lime, and waterline staining.
Works Fast On Pontoons
Foaming formula helps clean large aluminum surfaces efficiently.
Fights Corrosive Buildup
Removes deposits that can make unpainted aluminum look neglected.
Made For Tough Jobs
Acid based cleaner targets stains ordinary soap will not handle.
OXIDATION REMOVER
Soap Won't Touch Aluminum Oxidation
Bare aluminum on pontoons, jon boats, and trailers oxidizes into a dull, chalky gray with black waterline stains that boat soap and scrubbing can't lift. Aluminum Cleaner dissolves the oxidation, stains, and lime deposits so the bare metal goes bright again. Spray it on, let it work, and rinse, with minimal scrubbing.
Made for:
Bare aluminum pontoons, jon boats, canoes
Trailers, hardware & raw aluminum
Removes oxidation, waterline stains & lime
64 oz sprayer or gallon refill, bare metal only

Frequently Asked Questions
No, this cleaner is specifically formulated for unpainted, bare aluminum surfaces only and may damage painted or coated finishes.
One bottle is highly concentrated and can typically cover both sides of a 24-foot pontoon boat with moderate oxidation.
The acid-based formula can affect galvanized surfaces; it is recommended to mask the trailer with plastic or keep it thoroughly wet during application and rinsing.
Let the cleaner sit for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing, and never allow it to dry on the surface.
To ensure a uniform look, always apply the cleaner evenly from the bottom up using a scrubber pad and rinse thoroughly before it dries.
