F-102™ is a non-etching polished aluminum cleaner and maintainer designed to remove brake
dust, dirt, grease, exhaust stains and road film from polished and mirror polished aluminum
surfaces. The surfactants and penetrates contained in F-102™ promote the rapid emulsification
of soils and cut cleaning time to a minimum When used properly, F-102™ will not damage
aluminum in any way. F-102™ removes oxidation layer by layer, after several uses this product
will begin to restore the original shine to mirror polished aluminum. F-102™ is a maintenance
product and will not repair damaged aluminum.
F-102™ is a concentrated acid type aluminum cleaner and maintainer and must be diluted prior
to use. The exact dilution ratio will depend on the surface to be cleaned and the amount and type
of soil, however, a 25:1 dilution ratio is the recommended ratio for heavy soil loads. For followup
washing; a dilution of 35:1 will maintain the shine. F-102™ may be brushed on the surface
to be cleaned or sprayed on with high pressure washer equipment. When applied through high
pressure washers, F-102™ may be injected downstream by means of some type of siphon device
or brought through your high pressure pumps and heating coils. F-102™ will not harm most
high pressure pumps or coils. When cleaning with F-102™, always apply from the bottom up,
allow several minutes stand time (do not allow to dry) and then rinse from the top down. Do not
allow this product to dry on any surface.
Polished aluminum becomes dull due to natural oxidation. Our atmosphere causes the surface
of aluminum to oxidize from aluminum to aluminum oxide. Oxidation builds layer by layer
upon the aluminum surface. F-102™ is designed to react with and neutralize only the oxide. It
will not react with the base aluminum. F-102™ removes oxidation a few layers at a time so each
time the surface is washed with F-102™ it becomes brighter and brighter. Once the aluminum
oxide is removed, the surface will once again become more light reflective (bright and shiny).
