Cleaning anodized aluminum railings

[Lucky Dog]

I've noticed that most aluminum and metal polish/cleaner advise you not to use them on anodized aluminum.

Are there any products anyone recommends for anodized aluminum?

I been using Pledge with some success.

The problem with most metal cleaners is that they contain some sort of abrasive which will over time cut through the anodizing.

You might want to try Stainless Steel Magic, it works well. It's made by Magic American Corp. and is in an aerosol can, with a yellow cap.

Thanks Bob.

I think I bought some of that stuff for the SS counters at the house.

Woody wax and fine bronze wool.

Works great.

Thanks, sbw. Kind of limited distribution. I found it in stock in Anaheim.

Too bad boatfix doesn't carry it.

Awlgrip makes a polish that works well. I just use Johnson's Floor Paste wax.

Nevr Dull.....no abrasives whatsoever. Works on all metals !

I found that buff magic works well but there is an abrasive factor
