DG #831 question

[shadowrlc]

Just got in my order from AG with the DG 831. After a quick test on a diamond plate toolbox I really didn't see any results. Anybody had any luck with #831? All the DG products I've used so far have been great so I'm wondering if maybe the oxidation is just too bad. I'm just trying to avoid a lot of polishing on the box since the truck isn't garaged. Thoughts or advice?

Yeah, some luck. I've used it with #0000 steel wool after reading Sparkie's review.

I have used 831 on Diamond plate a few times....if it is very oxidized it will not do much at first...what I did was spray it on and use a brush to break up oxidation....sometimes if the oxidation is real bad...you may need to polish it first....

The other stuff they have is the Fleet aluminum cleaner....its strong stuff..and not safe for clearcoated metals....I have used this on fuel tanks and plate and it does clean it..but be very careful of the over wash areas.....

but try the 831 and let it sit a few and scrub it in..see if that helps any....

my buddy uses it on his pontoon boat and he sprays it on and uses a fine grade 3M scotch scrubbie pad and it comes out clean...

Thanks guys! I'll have to try the steel wool because its oxidized pretty bad after I tried polishing a small area with aluminum polish.
