FAQs
What surfaces can Belgom Aluminium Cleaner be used on?
Belgom Aluminium Cleaner is suitable for bare, unpainted, and uncoated aluminum surfaces. It is not recommended for anodized, painted, or coated aluminum.
How often should I use this product?
The frequency of use depends on the environment and how quickly the aluminum loses its shine. Regular maintenance may be needed for high-traffic or exposed areas.
What is the purpose of the product turning black?
The product turning black indicates that it is actively reacting with and lifting the oxidation, tarnish, and dirt from the aluminum surface.
Can I use this on aluminum car wheels?
Yes, it can be used on bare aluminum car wheels to restore shine. However, always test in an inconspicuous area first, and ensure the wheels are not coated or painted.
Is protective gear required?
While not strictly required for light use, it's advisable to wear gloves to protect your hands from prolonged contact and to avoid transferring oils to the cleaned surface. Ensure good ventilation when working in enclosed spaces.
What is the difference between the 250 ml and 500 ml sizes?
The difference is solely the volume of product contained within the bottle. The 500 ml bottle offers more product for larger projects or more frequent use.
Can this product be used on aluminum cookware?
It is not specifically recommended for cookware. While it might clean the exterior, internal cookware treatments and food-safe considerations are different. For cookware, use products specifically designed for kitchenware.
Troubleshooting
Product not turning black
Ensure the aluminum surface is clean and free of heavy grease or contaminants. Shake the product vigorously before use. The surface may not be significantly oxidized, or the cleaner may have already done its work.
Stubborn oxidation remains after first application
Apply a second layer of Belgom Aluminium Cleaner. Allow it to sit for a moment longer before rubbing, and ensure you are using sufficient pressure during the circular motion.
Residue is difficult to remove
Use a clean, dry, and soft cotton cloth. If residue persists, slightly dampen a separate cloth with water and wipe, then immediately dry with a clean, dry cloth.
Surface appears dull after cleaning
The surface may not have been fully cleaned, or it might be a different type of metal. Ensure you are using the product on bare aluminum. Try another application and thorough buffing.
