Cleaning aluminium bullbars

Jeez I reckon some nights I could just about clean my bullbar by myself!!

Hmmmm .... neighbours around here have some bloody big dogs. I wonder. Naaah mongrels have some sort of fetish about wheels :))))))

I think the guys from Mythbusters use CocaCola

Supercheap Auto sell an aluminium cleaner - brings it back like new - it is about $12 I think and is a pink acid solution just for ali..

If you want a chrome like finish to the bar, use CRC and a fine scourer. On completion give it a light polish with long life car polish.

Whats this??? A male bonding session !! LOL

If you look at my rig pic you will see an alloy bar. If you read my rig description you will see it says ARB bar (new pic coming).

I cleaned my alloy bar on a Rav 4, Ouch!!! Now it is ARB black, the mud and the bugs just wash off.

Hi Oldplodder,
One method I know about is the old steelo soap impregnated,depending on how dirty it is..to how hard you have to work!..This will give a clean presentable finnish.If you are looking for a chrome like finnish you will need a cotton type wheel on your 4 " grinder and buffing/cutting soap you can buy this from good tool shops they will advise you on what colour to buy as the corseness gos by colour,cant remember the name...maybee jewels rouge...but you need to wear a respirator cause you will be black and slimy by the time you finnish...maybee a wash down afterwards of urine will help???god knows...I mean the roobar, not you.
Hope this helps.

What you want is called " Purple ",,,,,,,,,,it's a specific polish for ally bars,,,,,thats what i use on my truck bar and tanks.
try either a BP truckstop, or a truck part seller called Truckline.

My next door neighbour is wondering why one side of his bullbar is cleaner than the other. If he ever caught me I don't think he would see the funny side of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hello aluminium bar polishers,

I have polished many aluminium castings on car and bike engines and bullbars, the best product I have found is Solvol Autosol. It is a white paste and comes in a Black and Gold tin or tube from all auto parts sellers, like Super Cheap. Add a little elbow grease and your ally will shine like new!
