3M™ Marine Aluminum Restorer and Polish removes the weathering effects that diminish the lustrous appearance of aluminum over time. Aluminum in a boat is especially vulnerable to oxidation and chalking because of all the outdoor exposure. Over time weathering effects rob aluminum of its brilliance and make it look old and fatigued. 3M™ Marine Aluminum Restorer and Polish turns back the clock to revive the fresh appearance of aluminum. This product is ideal for cleaning and polishing aluminum deck hardware, cleats, through hulls, stanchions, rails and ladders.
Our product is formulated to remove heavy oxidation and restore shine to either bare or painted aluminum. For painted aluminum, we recommend testing on a small inconspicuous area to determine effect. 3M™ Aluminum Restorer and Polish has a light abrasive action that will restore the original luster. It will restore high gloss surfaces to a highly polished look, while brushed and matte finishes will be restored to original color and luster. This concentrated formula means a small amount removes a lot of oxidation and chalking.
