How do you get this stuff off?


I'm not a chemistry major so the only guess I have is steel wool, or acid. I don't know much about alluminum

 

Brake cleaner? Its strong so I use it for everything at work. Just try not to get high off the stuff...

 

Brake cleaner is a power solvent. I think its just like acentone.

I was thinking of someting that would react with the corrosion. LIke tarnish remover for Silver spoons and acid for cleaning cement.

 

you could try CLR?

 

bumo for more info some one has to know of something made for this

 

I heard that somone used something called CRC. I dunno what it means.


So far the only method I've found that people say works is acid. Or sandblasting.

And Ive also read not to use steel wool because the fibers will get trapped in the block and rust....
Those guys said the corrosion of alluminum is a natural protectant, like bark on a tree.

But, mine is like the picture and its OUT of control.

and I think if I were going show, I'd powder coat the block.

 

Powder coat like this guy did:
