Cleaning Alloy Bullbars - Advice and help please.

I found some alloy cleaner Nathan had in the shed for his bikes so gave it a go but had to do really hard scrubbing (on a 12yr old bullbar though) - so I resorted to putting the front half of the car through mum and dad's garage - got a new bullbar - now i can put off the cleaning for a few more yrs!!! LOL !!!

Dad keeps his bullbar clean by washing it religiously every weekend and never taking it on a dirt road!!!

Either way good luck with the scrubbing!

Brasso worked well for me when I had the alloy bull bar on the 4 runner.

I prefer mine on the dull side. I used to resort to taping the top bit where the sun shone in my eyes but its not so bad now. You really need one of those machines that take a small polishing wheel on which you use compound and then elbow grease in the corners where the machine wont go. Meantime I dream up other more worthwhile things to do.

There are small workshops all over that build and polish them and you could get a quote. Alloy fabricators.

Autosol Metal Polish and a $28 buff from Supercheap Auto is the go ,,,

Another, if you can still get it, is Godard's Glow.

And when you finished, pls come and wash my Navara, been a bit naughty in the paddocks, and not looking forward to the clean up,,,, hehehehehehehe !

Its part of your right of passage. A squeeky clean shining bar implies you have an urban taxi.

I gave up on mine years ago after living in the NT.

Hi Andrew

Unbolt it and take it to an alloy polishing place there not very dear i had a heap of alloy polished there a while back.

Heard urine works well.
So organise a BBQ with a couple of slabs of beer and enjoy the work with friends. :-).
What are friends for?

Hi, Autosol Metal Polish is the way to go, if really stained use 800 wet & dry paper with water and the polish , Autosol seems to put a protective coating on it as well .
I have been useing it on my mags for years and it is worth the money, use it sparingly .
Cheers Des.
