Hurricane (Step #1)

Non-Polish Safe Step #1 Aluminum Brightener (HF Acid–Based)

Maximum-Strength Acid Cleaner for Heavy-Duty Aluminum Cleaning

When extreme cleaning power is required, this high-strength Step #1 aluminum brightener delivers aggressive, reliable results. It is specifically engineered to remove heavy oxidation, road film, grease, and embedded grime from unpolished aluminum surfaces.

Formulated with powerful acid-based cleaning agents, including hydrofluoric acid, this concentrated solution penetrates tough buildup quickly and efficiently. Its high potency allows for reduced product usage, helping lower overall cost per wash while maintaining maximum performance.
