Are You Looking to Improve the Shine of an Aluminum Surface?   

If so, Tidal Aluma Shine is the perfect product for you. Primarily composed of sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ethoxylated nonylphenol, xylene sulfonic acid sodium salt, and ethoxylated alcohol phosphate, this acidic cleaning solution will polish unpainted aluminum surfaces and leave them looking bright and shiny. It can also improve the sheen and overall appearance of anodized or mirror-polished aluminum that has been damaged.  

Advantages of Tidal Aluma Shine 

Wondering why you should buy Tidal Aluma Shine, rather than a different aluminum polishing product? Tidal Aluma Shine offers the following advantages: 

  • Nonflammable 
  • Sold in a 5-gallon pail and 55-gallon drum 
  • Can be used with cold water or hot water 

How to Use Tidal Aluma Shine in 4 Simple Steps 

Although Tidal Aluma Shine is an industrial-strength solution, it is straightforward to use:   

  1. First, Tidal Aluma Shine must be diluted. For use with cold water, dilute to a 1:60 concentration. For use with hot water, it may have to be more diluted. Conversely, it may need to be less diluted for use with hard water. 
  2. Before applying Tidal Aluma Shine to an entire aluminum surface, spot test on a small area of the surface. 
  3. If Tidal Aluma Shine passes the spot test, it is safe to use! It can be applied using either a pump sprayer or a pressure washer. It should be sprayed from bottom to top.
  4. Rinse Tidal Aluma Shine off of the surface before it dries. Unlike the application of the product, which should occur from bottom to top, it should be rinsed off from top to bottom. 

It is important to note that Tidal Aluma Shine should not be used on painted surfaces, glass, pumping systems, or heating coils.
